# Getting Started: Shopify & Groundhogg

[Connecting Shopify to WordPress with Groundhogg](https://www.youtube.com/embed/jP-Eq80IjZs?feature=oembed)

To start, you’ll need to ensure you have the following plugins installed and active:

- Groundhogg
- [Groundhogg – Shopify Extension](https://www.wooninja.io/extensions/groundhogg-woocommerce-deposits-extension/)

**You will also require a **[**Shopify account**](https://accounts.shopify.com/store-login)**. **I recommend that you [open your Shopify dashboard now](https://accounts.shopify.com/store-login) and leave it open in a separate tab.

When ready, your plugins should look like the following:

![shopify extension plugins](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/shopify-extension-plugins-1600x555.png)

**Activate Your Extension**

In WordPress, open **Groundhogg**, then **Settings** and click **Shopify**:

![shopify extension settings](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/shopify-extension-settings-1600x764.png)

Enter your **WooNinja License Key**, click **Save Changes**, then click **Activate License**.

You will now need to [log into your Shopify account](https://accounts.shopify.com/store-login). Once you have opened your account, click **Settings**, then **Notifications**.

Scroll to the view end of this page, and locate a section called **Webhooks**:

![shopify dashboard create webhook](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/shopify-dashboard-create-webhook-1600x810.png)

Click Create **Webhook** and you will be presented with the following screen:

![shopify dashboard create webhook step](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/shopify-dashboard-create-webhook-step-1600x1154.png)

You must now create a webhook for each action you wish to track in Groundhogg. The name of the **Event** corresponds to the name of the Benchmark in Groundhogg.

For example, if you wished to track **Order Creation**, you would select the following:

**Event**: Order Creation

**Format**: JSON

**Webhook**: 2019-10 (Or the latest version)

For the **URL**, simply open any benchmark for the Shopify funnel in Groundhogg and copy the URL listed for the webhook.

![shopify webhook address](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/shopify-webhook-address-1600x579.png)

**Top Tip**: This webhook URL is the same for all Shopify benchmarks.

When ready, your webhook will look similar to this:

![shopify webhook address complete](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/shopify-webhook-address-complete.png)

Click **Save Webhook**

**VERY Important**: You must add a webhook in Shopify for each event / benchmark you wish to track in Groundhogg. We recommend you add the following webhooks in Shopify:

- Customer creation
- Customer update
- Order creation
- Order cancellation
- Checkout creation

These will allow you to use all benchmarks currently offered in our extension.

When you have finished adding your webhooks in Shopify, you will need to adjust your settings in Groundhogg. From your Shopify dashboard, under your newly added **Webhooks**, copy and paste your **webhook signing key**:

![shopify webhook signing key](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/shopify-webhook-signing-key-1600x812.png)

And insert it into the correct field in your Groundhogg settings:

![groundhogg shopify final](https://www.wooninja.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/groundhogg-shopify-final-1600x809.png)

Next, insert your **Shopify Domain** e.g. example.shopify.com and tick the box that says **Verify Webhooks**

Finally, click **Save Changes**

Congrats! You are now ready to use Groundhogg with Shopify!
