Shopify Plus: Overview of Marketing Attribution Software

As marketing budgets tighten and iOS 14.5 continues to turn the ecommerce world upside down, it’s more important than ever to have a complete picture of your marketing efforts. 

Consider these facts:

🚫 96% of US users opt-out of being tracked by iOS 14.5 

🪦 Facebook’s 28-day marketing attribution window is dead

🤯 40-60% of Shopify purchases/events no longer display in ads managers

That’s why Shopify merchants across all industries are turning to marketing attribution software to figure out what the hell is going on with their return on ad spend (ROAS).

Chances are, you’re looking to do the same. 

So to do you a solid, we’ve put together a list of the top five best marketing attribution software for Shopify Plus merchants.

In addition, a pre-configured automation feature, which will adjust ad optimization when specific conditions are met, is slated to launch in Q1 2023.  

When combined with the Comet Events feature, advertisers can track all conversion events across any funnel, store, or website, whether it be purchases, leads, or booked calls.
