Trackify tracking tags allow you to group products, segment pixel data, and control which products trigger specific pixels. These tags power Niche Tag Pixels, analytics by tag, audience segmentation, and catalog control.


Supported Tracking Tag Formats

Trackify recognizes Shopify product tags that start with either:

  • pp_

  • rr_track_

Both formats are treated exactly the same by Trackify.

Examples

pp_winter pp_toy rr_track_dog pp_jewelry

Tag Rules (Important)

  • Do not use spaces

  • Do not use special characters

  • Use only letters, numbers, underscores, or dashes


What Is a Niche Tag Pixel?

A Niche Tag Pixel tracks events only for products that contain a specific Shopify product tag.

You control what the pixel tracks simply by adding or removing tags from products.


How Niche Tag Pixels Work

Example

You tag certain products as:

pp_winter

A Niche Tag Pixel configured with pp_winter will:

  • βœ… Track events only for products with that tag


Common Ways to Tag Products

You can tag products using multiple dimensions at the same time.

1. By Interest / Niche

pp_dog pp_cat pp_beer pp_jewelry

2. By Season or Time

pp_winter pp_summer pp_black_friday

3. By Product Type or Category

pp_mugs pp_shirts pp_posters

4. By Attributes

pp_red pp_blue pp_kids pp_adults

5. Functional Tags

pp_best_seller pp_exclude rr_track_exclude

You don’t need to define everything upfront. Start simple and expand as your ad strategy evolves.


When to Use a Niche Tag Pixel

βœ… Best for:

  • Niche-specific campaigns

  • Product-line isolation

  • Precise retargeting

  • Cleaner analytics and optimization

Niche Tag Pixels help prevent unrelated products from polluting pixel data.


How to Set Up a Niche Tag Pixel

Step 1: Create the Product Tag in Shopify

  1. Log in to Shopify Admin

  2. Go to Products

  3. Open the product you want to track

  4. In the Tags section, add a tag using this format:

    pp_product_tag

    Example:

    pp_toy
  5. Click Done, then Save

Repeat this for all products you want tracked by the Niche Tag Pixel.


Step 2: Add the Niche Tag Pixel in Trackify

  1. Log in to your Trackify dashboard

  2. Go to Pixels

  3. Click Add Pixel

  4. Select Pixel Type: Niche Tag Pixel

  5. In Tag Matching, enter the exact Shopify tag

    pp_toy
  6. Click Save Pixel

βœ… The pixel will now track events only for products with that tag.


Important Notes

  • Tags must match exactly (case-sensitive)

  • Products can have multiple tags

  • Avoid assigning the same product to conflicting pixels

  • Niche Tag Pixels work independently from the Master Pixel


Summary

  • Tracking tags control product-level tracking

  • pp_ and rr_track_ formats are equivalent

  • Niche Tag Pixels fire only for tagged products

  • Ideal for isolating niches and improving optimization

  • Setup requires:

    • Tagging products in Shopify

    • Matching the same tag in Trackify
