#1 Elevar

BEST OVERALL

It sends purchases and other events to GA4, Google Ads, Meta CAPI, TikTok, Klaviyo and dozens of other destinations, and passes consent from Shopify's privacy banner to Google Consent Mode. The free plan covers very small stores; paid plans are priced for brands with real ad spend.

Pros
  • Broadest list of destinations, 50+ integrations
  • Works with Shopify's consent banner and Google Consent Mode

#5 Stape

BEST FOR DIY SERVER-SIDE GTM

The free Shopify app installs GTM, builds the data layer and sends purchase and refund webhooks to your server container on Stape's hosting. You build the Meta, Google and TikTok tags yourself, which gives full control at a low cost.

  • Full control over every tag and destination
  • Low hosting cost compared with all-in-one apps

How to choose

  • You advertise on several platforms and want one tool for everything: Elevar.
  • Most of your budget goes to Google Ads and you live in GA4: Analyzify or Littledata.
  • You want the quickest setup without Google Tag Manager: TrackBee or Littledata.
  • You or your agency already work with server-side GTM: Stape.

Free options to start with

Shopify’s own Facebook & Instagram app can send purchases to Meta through the Conversions API at no extra cost. It covers Meta only, so a dedicated app is still worth it once you advertise on Google or TikTok as well.

Common questions

Do I need a paid tracking app on Shopify? Not always. If you run only Meta ads at a small budget, Shopify’s free Meta integration may be enough. Paid apps pay off when you advertise on several platforms and need accurate data in each.

Can I run two tracking apps at the same time? Avoid it. Two apps sending the same purchase to the same platform can double count conversions unless both share event IDs.

Does server-side tracking replace the browser pixel? No. The best setups send each event from both the browser and the server with the same event ID, and the ad platform keeps one copy.
