LeadDyno provides a simple, one-click integration with Shopify, making it easy and hassle-free to set up an affiliate program for your Shopify store.

Connecting to Shopify

First, just head over to Integrations - Explore, and then simply choose to add the Shopify integration. It’s a straightforward step to get started.

You will be prompted to add your Shopify URL, and also the start date from when the purchases are to be imported into LeadDyno.

After entering your information, click "Connect" and follow the on-screen instructions to link your Shopify store.

Once you log in, you will be redirected back to LeadDyno after a brief pause, and you should see that you are connected. And that’s it!

You can disconnect LeadDyno from your Shopify store by clicking the "Disconnect" button.

A Note on Multiple Stores / Accounts

If you have multiple Shopify stores that you would like to connect to LeadDyno, there are a few things to be aware of. First, each store will require its own LeadDyno account. LeadDyno automatically creates an account for your store when you add the LeadDyno app to your store if you are not signed into LeadDyno. But, if you are already signed into LeadDyno when you add the app to your store - perhaps because you have recently connected LeadDyno to another one of your Shopify stores - we will link the new store to this LeadDyno account. In some cases, this is not the desired behavior, so it is best to be totally logged out of LeadDyno when adding the LeadDyno app to your store. This will prevent accidentally breaking the connection between your LeadDyno account and any previous store that might have been connected to it.

Coupon Code Integration

Moreover, our Shopify integration allows you to restrict which of your products the coupon can be applied to. To do this, navigate to Integrations -- Connected and select the Shopify integration. There, you will find the "Collection Restrictions" section, which allows you to select all collections or specific collections only.

Resynchronize Affiliate Data

Bulk Affiliate Code Synchronization

You can also resynchronize your existing affiliate data to Shopify from the Apps section. 
Click on edit to access your settings.

Here, you can enable an automatic option to automatically sync all future affiliate codes to Shopify and to resynchronize your current affiliate data with Shopify as well. 

Individual Affiliate Code Synchronization

You can also synchronize affiliate data for a specific affiliate, which is helpful if you don't want to resync all of your codes. To do this, you need to first find the affiliate in the Affiliates-Manage tab. Once the affiliate is accessed, you will find the re-sync Shopify option in the Affiliate Status section.

Other integration settings

Consider Purchases After Date allows you to choose whether you wish to import historical orders inside LeadDyno or not. If you wish to import historical orders, please select a past date for this setting.

Discount - Limit to one use per customer lets you choose whether synced affiliate codes can be used more than once by a referred customer or not.

Through Discount Eligibility, you can select if the synced affiliate codes will apply to one-time purchases, subscription products, or both.

Lastly, you can select to Subtract Included (VAT) Tax From Commissions if VAT is directly processed via Shopify for your store rather than a 3rd party app.

Limitations / Known Issues

Shopify Buy Buttons are not supported by LeadDyno. These are different than the standard Shopify e-Commerce shopping cart. The buttons are designed for quick purchases and don't work with Leaddyno because there is no "cart" that we can detect and connect the visitor to for the purchase. 

We recommend disabling express checkout options (such as Google Pay, ShopPay, AmazonPay) as the purchases made through express checkout will get tracked, but the affiliate referral most likely won't. This is due to the fact that the express checkout forms are hosted by iframe elements that can't be penetrated by Javascript, so the LeadDyno code can not interact with it and ensure that the lead is tracked when the purchase is made.

The Shopify Automatic Discount URL feature is currently compatible only with the native Shopify checkout solution. If you are using a separate, third-party Shopify app to handle the checkout process, the Shopify Automatic Discount URL feature may not be available for your store.
