Installation Flow

Four steps from account creation to first signal.

This page is optimized for activation. If you are still evaluating fit, review the workflow pages after setup instead of turning implementation into another research task.

Step 1

Create your account

Start free, create your first project, and choose the platform you operate.

Custom storefront

Best when you run your own frontend and want TraceLog installed without reshaping the rest of your analytics stack.

Shopify

Start with the Shopify connection, then continue with snippet installation and tracking verification.

Step 2

Connect your platform and install tracking

Connect Shopify when relevant, or install TraceLog directly with the package or browser script.

Custom storefront

Use the package or browser script.

Choose the npm package if you control the app codebase, or the browser script if you need the fastest path into an existing frontend.

Shopify

Use the hosted installation flow.

Publish TraceLog to the storefront you want to monitor and keep the rest of your reporting stack in place.

NPM

npm install @tracelog/lib

CDN (HTML)

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tracelog/lib@latest/dist/browser/tracelog.js"></script>

Step 3

Initialize TraceLog

If you are using a custom storefront, add TraceLog in your app entry point and connect it to the project you created in the dashboard.

Initialization

import { tracelog } from '@tracelog/lib';

await tracelog.init({
  integrations: {
    tracelog: {
      projectId: 'your-project-id' // Get this from your dashboard
    }
  }
});

// That's it! Page views, clicks, and sessions are now tracked.

Project ID

Copy it from the dashboard once your first store or project is created. That is the only value you need for the initial connection.

Privacy-first defaults stay intact.

TraceLog core tracking runs without analytics cookies, and common PII is sanitized automatically as part of the default implementation path.

Step 4

Verify the first signals

Load your store, open TraceLog, and confirm that sessions, page views, and high-intent journey events start appearing.

What to confirm

  • Sessions begin to appear after you load the storefront.
  • Page views and journey steps are visible in the product.
  • The first baseline data starts accumulating for future alerting.

You're tracking.

From here, TraceLog starts learning normal behavior — detection, AI Copilot, and analytics become available as data accumulates.
