Shopify Permalinks - Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ was last reviewed on 2026-06-10
Does the checkout link work from any external website?
Yes, as long as the AnyTrack Tracking Tag is installed in the head section of the external website. Without the tag, AnyTrack cannot read visitor data and the tracking parameter will not be passed to Shopify.
What if the AnyTrack tag is not on my external website?
If the external site does not have the AnyTrack Tracking Tag installed, visitors who click the checkout link will not be tracked. Install the tag on every page of the external website where you place Shopify checkout links.
Will the tracking parameter be visible to customers?
No. The AnyTrack tracking parameter is passed as a hidden cart attribute. Per Shopify conventions, any attribute beginning with an underscore is hidden from customers at checkout.
