Server-side tracking and multi-touch attribution that bypasses iOS restrictions and ad blockers.
The Invisible Problem
iOS 14+ privacy restrictions, ad blockers, and payment gateway redirects (Shop Pay, PayPal, Afterpay) block tracking pixels—leaving you blind to which campaigns actually convert.
Last-click ignores 3-7 touchpoints that influenced purchase
The Attribution Lie
Shopify's basic last-click model gives all credit to the final touchpoint, ignoring the 3-7 interactions that actually influenced the purchase. You're over-investing in bottom-funnel campaigns.
The Data Chaos
Google Ads reports 100 conversions. Facebook reports 80. Shopify shows 150 orders. Which number is real? Without unified tracking, you're making budget decisions on guesswork.
Result: You're wasting 0-40% of your ad budget
On campaigns you think work—but don't actually drive conversions.
AskOrigin fixes this
95% tracking accuracy guaranteed
AskOrigin combines first-party tracking, server-side conversion APIs, and advanced multi-touch attribution to give you accurate, actionable data on every dollar you spend.
yourstore.comtrack.yourstore.comSet up a custom subdomain (track.yourstore.com) that routes through AskOrigin. Tracking appears as first-party requests, bypassing ad blockers and iOS restrictions.
Compare campaigns across Last Touch, First Touch, Linear, Time Decay, U-Shaped, and Machine Learning-Based attribution models.
When customers checkout with Shop Pay, PayPal, or Afterpay, they leave your site. AskOrigin's cart backup preserves attribution even after redirects.
Browser pixels miss 30-40% of iOS users. AskOrigin sends purchase events directly to Meta's servers with enriched customer data.
Track every page view, product view, add-to-cart, and campaign interaction. View the complete path customers take before they buy.
Import daily campaign costs from Google Ads automatically. AskOrigin calculates true cost-per-acquisition across all models.
Install the AskOrigin app from the Shopify App Store. We automatically integrate with your store's webhooks and inject tracking pixels—no developer required.
yourstore.comanalytics.yourstore.comPoint a subdomain (analytics.yourstore.com) to AskOrigin using Cloudflare Workers or Netlify. This step is optional but recommended for maximum ad blocker bypass.
Not technical? Our team can configure your DNS for free during onboarding.

We backfill up to 90 days of Shopify order history so you can see attribution for past campaigns instantly.
Explore the complete feature set that makes AskOrigin the most powerful attribution platform for Shopify merchants.
Not all businesses have the same customer journey. E-commerce brands with long consideration periods need different attribution logic than impulse-buy stores.
AskOrigin provides 6 industry-standard attribution models: Last Touch, First Touch, Linear, Time Decay, Position-Based (U-Shaped), and Machine Learning-Based.
Switch between models instantly to see how different attribution logic changes your campaign ROI calculations.
Stop guessing why customers convert. AskOrigin tracks every interaction from first visit to purchase—and beyond.
Click any order in your dashboard to open the customer journey modal and explore the full path to purchase. See complete chronological timelines, campaign details, products viewed, time gaps between interactions, and more.
Third-party tracking pixels are dying. Ad blockers, browser privacy features, and iOS restrictions block 30-50% of traditional analytics pixels.
Instead of requests going to askorigin.com (third-party), they go to analytics.yourstore.com (first-party). To browsers and ad blockers, this looks like your own website communicating with itself.
Choose between Cloudflare Worker Proxy or Netlify Load Balancer deployment options. We handle all configuration.
yourstore.comaskorigin.comBLOCKEDyourstore.comanalytics.yourstore.comWhen customers use Shop Pay, PayPal, or other external processors, they leave your store during checkout. Traditional tracking breaks completely.
Shopify Analytics typically marks these orders as 'Direct' or 'Unknown Source'—even if the customer came from a paid ad 5 minutes earlier.
AskOrigin's Cart Backup System creates a backup of attribution data before checkout, then matches the session back after purchase.
Facebook's browser pixel misses 30-50% of iOS users due to Apple's ATT framework. When Meta only sees half your conversions, it can't optimize effectively.
AskOrigin sends purchase events directly from your server to Meta's Conversions API, bypassing browser restrictions entirely. All PII is hashed using SHA-256 before transmission.
Setup takes 5 minutes: connect your Meta Business account, select your pixel, and enable CAPI.

Shopify's built-in reporting uses last-click attribution and struggles with payment gateway redirects. 40-50% of orders are marked "Direct" or "Unknown Source"—especially if you offer Shop Pay.
Multi-touch attribution, first-party tracking, and payment gateway recovery that Shopify cannot provide natively.
GA4 is powerful but generic. It's built for all websites, not Shopify specifically. Setup requires Google Tag Manager expertise, data is delayed 24-48 hours, and it still loses attribution through Shop Pay.
Shopify-native integration (no GTM required), real-time attribution, and accurate Shop Pay tracking that GA4 misses.
Tools like Triple Whale, Hyros, and Wicked Reports offer similar attribution capabilities but at 2-4x the price ($299-$2000/month) and with more complex setups.
Comparable features at a fraction of the cost, with faster implementation and Shopify-specific optimizations.
"We recovered $47k in previously unattributed revenue in the first 30 days."
"Shop Pay was our default checkout, and Shopify Analytics marked 52% of our orders as 'Direct.' After installing AskOrigin, we discovered that 38% of those 'Direct' orders actually came from our Facebook and Google campaigns. We immediately reallocated budget to our best-performing ads and saw ROAS jump from 2.8x to 4.1x within 60 days."
"First-party tracking recovered 41% more conversions than Google Analytics."
"We were making decisions based on GA4 data that was missing nearly half our iOS users. AskOrigin's first-party tracking revealed that our TikTok campaigns were actually our best top-of-funnel channel—we were about to cut the budget. Now we're scaling TikTok aggressively and have decreased our overall CPA by 28%."
"The customer journey visualization changed how we think about attribution."
"Before AskOrigin, we only looked at last-click data. Now we see that 67% of our customers interact with 3-5 touchpoints before buying. We shifted from pure conversion campaigns to a balanced funnel strategy—awareness on Facebook, consideration via Google, conversion via email retargeting. Revenue is up 34% year-over-year."
"Meta CAPI integration improved our Facebook ad performance by 22%."
"Our Event Match Quality score went from 6.2 to 9.1 within a week of enabling CAPI through AskOrigin. Facebook's algorithm finally had accurate conversion data to optimize against. Our CPA dropped from $43 to $33, and our scale ceiling doubled. This paid for itself in week one."

Marketing attribution is the process of identifying which marketing campaigns and channels contributed to a sale. Instead of giving all credit to the last click (like Shopify does by default), attribution models distribute credit across all touchpoints in the customer journey.
