<h2>How to Set Up CJ Affiliate Tracking on Shopify with Server-Side Tracking</h2><p>Traditional client-side tracking is becoming increasingly unreliable due to browser restrictions like Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), widespread use of adblockers, and tighter cookie expiration policies. These limitations lead to underreported conversions and lost revenue—especially for Shopify merchants relying on CJ Affiliate to manage performance marketing. Server-side tracking offers a scalable, privacy-compliant solution that significantly improves data accuracy and attribution.</p><p>By shifting your CJ Affiliate tracking to a server-side setup, you bypass browser-level disruptions and gain control over data transmission. Using tools like Google Tag Manager Server-Side, Stape, and Facebook’s Conversions API, we implement a robust tracking architecture that captures 20–30% more conversions compared to traditional methods. This enhancement directly improves return on ad spend (ROAS) and gives affiliate partners accurate credit for sales.</p><p>At Obsidian Digital, we’ve completed over 200 advanced server-side tracking setups for leading Shopify brands such as Eyda, Intersport, Rains, and Ecooking.
