Tagging Orders in Shopify

Overview

To ensure Eraya can correctly attribute orders to their respective test variations (Control or Variant), you’ll need to set up an automated workflow in Shopify Flow. This workflow uses custom attributes that Eraya adds during checkout to tag orders in Shopify with the correct test ID and variation (A/B).


⚙️ Prerequisites

Before you begin:

  1. Make sure you have installed the Shopify Flow app.

  2. Identify the test type and copy its test ID from your Eraya dashboard.

Test Type
Test ID Attribute
Variation Attribute

Price Test

_eraya_test_id

_eraya_variation

Theme Test

_eraya_theme_test_id

_eraya_theme_variation

Shipping Test

_eraya_shipping_test_id

_eraya_shipping_variation


Steps to Create the Workflow

1. Create a New Workflow

  • Open the Shopify Flow app in your Shopify admin.

  • Click Create workflow (top-right).

  • Click Select a trigger.

  • For the trigger, choose Order created.


2. Add a Condition

  • Click the blue “+” icon on the Order created card and select Condition.

  • Click Add criteriaOrderlineItemscustomAttributesvalue.

  • Change the “Equals” dropdown to “Includes”.

  • Paste your test ID (copied from the Eraya dashboard) into the Value field.

Example:

68c84559308bf515cf681476

3. Add an Action (Variation B)

  • Click the blue “+” next to Then in the “Check if…” card and select Action.

  • Choose Add order tags.

  • Add the following tags:

    B, 68c84559308bf515cf681476

    (Replace the ID with your actual test ID.)


4. Add a Second Condition (Variation A)

  • Below the False branch, click Add condition again.

  • Use the same structure:

    • Order → lineItems → customAttributes → value

    • Change Equals to Includes

    • Enter the same test ID.

  • Then add another criterion:

    • Order → lineItems → customAttributes → value

    • Change Equals to Includes

    • Enter a for the control group.


5. Add an Action (Variation A)

  • Under the True branch, select Add order tags.

  • Add tags for the control group:

    A, 68c84559308bf515cf681476

6. Activate the Workflow

Once your flow looks similar to the diagram below (with both A and B branches configured):

Order created

Condition (_eraya_test_id includes TestID, _eraya_variation includes b)
   ├── True → Add order tags: "B, <TestID>"
   └── False → Condition (_eraya_test_id includes TestID, _eraya_variation includes a)
                 ├── True → Add order tags: "A, <TestID>"

Click Turn on workflow (top-right corner) to activate it.


Example Attribute Values

Here’s how Eraya sends attributes to Shopify:

// Price Test
{
  _eraya_test_id: "68c84559308bf515cf681476",
  _eraya_variation: "a" // or "b"
}

// Theme Test
{
  _eraya_theme_test_id: "78d21459abc874f951c",
  _eraya_theme_variation: "b"
}

// Shipping Test
{
  _eraya_shipping_test_id: "98f84559308bf515cf681aa",
  _eraya_shipping_variation: "a"
}

Notes

  • You can duplicate this same workflow for each test type (Price, Theme, Shipping) by simply updating the attribute keys.

  • Always tag both the variation (A/B) and the test ID — this allows Eraya’s analytics to group and attribute orders correctly.

  • Once enabled, every order will automatically include tags like:

    A, 68c84559308bf515cf681476

    or

    B, 68c84559308bf515cf681476
