The Edgee Shopify Web Pixel SDK is a specialized version of the Edgee SDK designed to work within Shopify’s Web Pixel sandbox environment. It automatically captures important e-commerce events like page views, product interactions, cart actions, checkout steps, and search queries.

​
Key Differences from Standard SDK

  • Context Bridge: The Shopify Web Pixel SDK requires access to Shopify’s analytics, browser, and init objects from the pixel sandbox
  • Event Handling: Uses Shopify’s analytics.subscribe() API to capture rich e-commerce data
  • Automatic Events: Captures Shopify-specific events without additional configuration

​
Setup Instructions

​
1. Create a Shopify Custom Pixel

In your Shopify Admin:
  1. Go to Settings → Customer events → Custom pixels
  2. Click Add custom pixel
  3. Name it “Edgee Analytics”

​
2. Add the Pixel Code

Copy this code into your custom pixel: 
// === Edgee SDK: load immediately, once per page ===
const EDGEE_SDK_SRC = "https://YOUR-DOMAIN.com/_edgee/shopify.js";

// Expose Shopify pixel context to the SDK
// These objects are available in the pixel sandbox and need to be passed to the Edgee SDK
window.__SHOPIFY_PIXEL_CONTEXT__ = {
  analytics: analytics,
  browser: browser,
  init: init
};

function loadScriptOnce(src, id) {
  if (window.__EDGEE_SDK_PROMISE__) return window.__EDGEE_SDK_PROMISE__;
  window.__EDGEE_SDK_PROMISE__ = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    if (document.getElementById(id)) return resolve("already-loaded");
    const s = document.createElement("script");
    s.id = id;
    s.async = true;
    s.src = src;
    s.onload = () => resolve("loaded");
    s.onerror = (e) => reject(e);
    (document.head || document.documentElement).appendChild(s);
  });
  return window.__EDGEE_SDK_PROMISE__;
}

// kick off load now
loadScriptOnce(EDGEE_SDK_SRC, "__EDGEE_SDK__").catch((e) => {
  console.error("[Pixel] Edgee SDK load failed", e);
});
Important: Replace YOUR-DOMAIN.com with your actual domain where the Edgee SDK is hosted.
