Site Tagging & Verification

To use Whimful effectively, you must install the Whimful Site Tag on your website. This tag collects data on user behavior, tracks conversions, and powers our agents.

Installing the Tag

Shopify Stores

If you are using Shopify, the process is automated:

  1. Connect your Shopify store in the Connectors tab.
  2. The Whimful App will automatically inject the necessary tag into your store's theme.
  3. Ensure the "App Embed" is enabled in your Shopify Theme Editor if prompted.

Other Websites

For non-Shopify sites, you need to manually add the tag:

  1. Go to Site & Setup > Overview.
  2. Click on Get Site Tag.
  3. Copy the code snippet provided.
  4. Paste it into the <head> section of your website's HTML, as high up as possible.
  5. Save and publish your changes.

Verifying Your Site

After installing the tag, you need to verify that it's working correctly.

  1. Go to Site & Setup > Overview.
  2. If your site is unverified, you will see a "Verify Site" button or status.
  3. Click Verify. Whimful will scan your site to detect the tag.
  4. Once verified, the status will change to Verified, and data collection will begin.

Troubleshooting

  • Tag not found: Ensure the code is in the <head> and not the <body>. Check for caching plugins that might be delaying the update.
  • No data: It may take a few minutes for data to start appearing after verification. Visit your site yourself to generate some initial traffic.
