# FAQ: Shopify to Segment connection

Littledata's [Segment connection](/integrations/shopify-to-segment.md) fixes tracking automatically and sends data from Shopify to Segment. Here are Frequently Asked Questions about the integration.

<details>

<summary>Is your Segment connection listed in the Shopify app store?</summary>

Yes. [Segment by Littledata](https://apps.shopify.com/segment-com-by-littledata) is available in the Shopify app store. Install the app directly from the app store, and reach out to <help@littledata.io> for any Shopify-related queries.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What does Littledata's Shopify to Segment connection do?</summary>

The Segment connection lets you use your Shopify store as a Segment source. It automatically tracks every ecommerce touch point on your Shopify store, including:

* Browsing behavior
* Checkout steps
* Sales, refunds & upsells
* Customer lifetime value

Our app sends both [track and identify calls](/integrations/shopify-to-segment/how-it-works.md) to Segment with all the required product and customer fields to make analysis, retargeting and personalization possible. See [exactly what we track](/integrations/shopify-to-segment/how-it-works.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do I install the app?</summary>

You can follow this [quick setup guide](/integrations/shopify-to-segment/installation.md). The setup can be completed in 10 minutes without any code changes. You'll need a Segment account and a Shopify store to complete the process.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is there a free trial?</summary>

Yes, absolutely! Littledata's Segment connection includes a free 30-day trial on all plans. The trial is fully functional, so you have access to all features and benefits during the trial period.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Do I also need the Shopify to Google Analytics app?</summary>

We recommend you send the data from Segment on to their [Google Analytics destination](/integrations/shopify-to-segment/send-data-from-segment-to-google-analytics.md), but if you want continuity of tracking or other customization you can also use Littledata's [Google Analytics connection](/integrations/shopify-to-google-analytics.md) alongside the Segment connection with no technical limitations.

You may need our dedicated Google Analytics connection in the following cases:

* when you find marketing attribution in GA4 is not working as expected
* when you need more [user properties in GA4](/integrations/shopify-to-google-analytics/how-it-works-shopify-to-ga4.md#custom-parameters)
* when you need to use the [GTM data layer](/advanced/developer/gtm-and-google-analytics-data-layer-for-shopify.md) to configure events not supported in Segment via Google Tag Manager

</details>

<details>

<summary>Do you offer custom setup and priority support?</summary>

Yes, Littledata's [Plus plans](https://www.littledata.io/plus) are a popular option for Shopify Plus merchants and other stores intent on major growth. These plans give you access to guided custom implementations and priority support.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I import historic customer data?</summary>

With an annual [Littledata Plus plan](https://www.littledata.io/plus) you can import all Shopify orders and refunds from before you started using Segment, to sync with destinations that support timestamped events (e.g. a data warehouse). This enables you to build a complete customer history in your chosen destination.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How does the app deal with customer-level data?</summary>

By default Littledata doesn’t store personally-identifiable (PII) customer data; only aggregate data like city or operating system - read [our privacy policy](https://blog.littledata.io/privacy-policy). We do push PII data like email and address from Shopify to Segment (see section on [Identify calls](/integrations/shopify-to-segment/how-it-works.md)), but you can use [Segment's Protocols feature](https://segment.com/product/protocols) to filter it out to comply with your data protection policies.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What Segment destinations are supported?</summary>

In theory all device and cloud mode destinations can receive data from the Shopify source, but we've made special adaptations for:

* [Google Analytics 4](/integrations/shopify-to-segment/send-data-from-segment-to-google-analytics.md)
* [Klaviyo](/integrations/shopify-to-segment/shopify-segment-klaviyo.md)
* [Facebook Conversions API](/integrations/shopify-to-segment/connect-segment-to-facebook-conversions-api.md)
* [Iterable](https://support.iterable.com/hc/en-us/articles/204795719-Sending-Data-from-Segment-to-Iterable-#order-completed)
* [Mixpanel](https://segment.com/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/website/shopify-littledata/#alias-calls)

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is there more technical documentation?</summary>

Yes:

* see a [full list of what events and properties are included](/integrations/shopify-to-segment/how-it-works.md) in this Segment source.
* see our [full tracking plan](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aljowRhMU9_7uGXmcipbP1Y14S4cOSdXGQA2Vx7BHko) and import this into Segment Protocols.
* see [what might be blocking marketing attribution](/advanced/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-marketing-attribution-for-shopify.md) of events.
