How PixelShift Works

PixelShift uses a three-step approach to migrate your tracking:
Step 1: Scan Your Scripts
Our AI-powered scanner analyzes your existing checkout scripts and identifies:

  • Which tracking providers you’re using
  • What events are being tracked
  • Your tracking IDs and configurations
  • Custom implementations and parameters

Step 2: Generate Web Pixels
Based on your scan results, PixelShift generates:

  • Shopify-compliant Web Pixel code
  • Full-funnel event tracking (13 customer events)
  • Event deduplication logic
  • Multi-currency support
  • Google Consent Mode v2 integration

Step 3: Server-Side Tracking (Pro)
For Pro users, PixelShift also configures:

  • Server-side API integrations (CAPI)
  • Direct server-to-server event transmission
  • Bypasses ad blockers and browser restrictions
  • Enhanced match rates for better attribution

Technical Architecture
Customer Action → Shopify Web Pixel → PixelShift Server → Ad Platform APIs
↘ Event Validation
↘ Health Monitoring
Web Pixels run in Shopify’s sandboxed environment, capturing events as customers browse your store.
Server-Side CAPI sends events directly from your server to advertising platforms, ensuring data reaches them even when browser-side tracking fails.
