Adding SheerID programs to your Shopify Store

  • Updated

SheerID provides a range of integration methods for Shopify merchants looking to seamlessly incorporate verification programs into their online stores. Specifically, SheerID offers two dedicated Shopify extensions designed to simplify the process of displaying and validating eligibility for exclusive offers directly within the Shopify platform. These extensions offer tailored solutions for both the storefront and checkout experience. 

Shopify theme extension

SheerID offers a theme extension to help display your programs in the Shopify theme editor.

  1. In your Shopify theme editor, navigate to the page you would like to display your SheerID program
  2. Add the SheerID Verification Form app block under 'Apps'
  3. Configure the app block on the right-hand side of the editor, entering your SheerID Program ID in the 'Program' field                                                                                               
To locate your SheerID Program ID, log in to your MySheerID account and select the program you want to display in your store. The Program ID is found in the top left. 

 4. Configure the 'Button text', 'Display style', and any specific colors

Custom metadata in the Shopify app

In our Shopify app theme extension, we collect the "customer_id" from the Shopify page and add it as a query parameter to the verification URL. Any additional parameters that you wish to collect will need to be manually added to the verification URL using our standard implementation options.

The "customer_id" from Shopify is not a reliable way to access a consumer's ID if they are not logged in to your Shopify store before checking out. Shopify will populate this ID with a value now with guest checkouts. We collect this ID from the following places to add to the verification URL:
  • window.ShopifyAnalytics.meta.page.customerId
  • window.meta.page.customerId
  • ShopifyAnalytics.lib.user().traits().uniqToken

Shopify checkout extension

The checkout extension can be utilized by stores using Shopify Plus. To add the SheerID checkout extension:

  1. Navigate to the checkout page of your Shopify store in the theme editor
  2. Add the SheerID app block to the 'Order summary' section
     
  3. Configure the app block by providing a link to a page within your store that contains your SheerID verification forms along with any other optional text you would like to display

Additional SheerID publishing options

We also offer our standard methods for publishing your SheerID program on your website, including pop-up and embedded forms, dedicated landing pages, and API endpoints.
