# How to install the ShortPen Pixel with the Shopify app

> Install the ShortPen pixel on Shopify automatically. Connect your store, track purchases, and monitor events with no code.

**Short answer:** Install the official ShortPen app in Shopify, connect your store to ShortPen, pick the e-commerce events you want, and then verify the Pixel from ShortPen. No code or theme edits are required.

## Before you start

* You’ve [created a Pixel](/event-tracking/shortpen-pixel/pixel-creation) in ShortPen (you’ll select it during the Shopify flow).
* Admin access to your Shopify store.

## How to install a pixel into a Shopify store: Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start from ShortPen">
    In ShortPen, go to **Settings → Organization → Pixels → Create new pixel**, then choose **Shopify** and go to the official ShortPen app page.

    ***
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the app and connect">
    In Shopify, [**install the ShortPen App**](https://apps.shopify.com/shortpen-integration).

    Then, always in your Shopify store, **open the ShortPen App**, go to **Settings**, and start authentication with ShortPen. This way, you'll link your ShortPen account to your Shopify store.

    If prompted, **sign in to ShortPen** and confirm.

    When done, the **store ↔ ShortPen** connection is active and your Pixel is linked.

    ***
  </Step>

  <Step title="Automatic Pixel installation">
    The integration automatically **injects the ShortPen Pixel** into your storefront.

    Your store is now **ready to track events and conversions**. No manual code or theme edits are needed.

</Tip>

## Manage tracked events (inside Shopify)

After the connection is active:

1. Open **Apps → ShortPen** in your **Shopify admin**.
2. In the app dashboard, you’ll see a list of **predefined Shopify ecommerce events** (e.g., Product View, Add to Cart, Checkout Started, Purchase).
3. **Enable or disable** each event according to your needs.
4. Save your settings.

<Warning>
  **Important**: These predefined Shopify events are **managed in the Shopify app dashboard** and are **not listed as editable custom events** in ShortPen’s events area. You can still [**create additional events**](/getting-started/create-first-event) in ShortPen when you need more control.
</Warning>

## What gets tracked automatically?

Using the Shopify app, ShortPen injects its Pixel and starts capturing core ecommerce events out of the box (no copy-paste code).

Typical events include **Add To Cart**, **Purchase**, **View Content**, **Initiate Checkout**.
