Shopify Implementation Guide
DATA Reshape implementation on Shopify requires partner access to your store. Due to Shopify's security model, direct theme editing and Customer Events configuration need partner-level permissions.

You will need:
- Custom tracking subdomain (e.g.
dre2.yourdomain.com) - Script ID provided by the DATA Reshape team

Why Partner Access?
Shopify requires partner access for Customer Events configuration, theme modifications, and API access needed for server-side tracking. This ensures secure implementation following Shopify best practices without affecting store performance.
