Before you start
The first time you sign in, Soran asks four questions: your profile, how you heard about Soran, your business, and what you are here to solve. Your answers to the last two decide which numbers the product puts in front of you first. Only the profile picture is optional.Add a property
The wizard has four steps. Shopify stores have three — see step 4 for why.1
Enter your website URL
Type your domain, like
acme.com. Soran then reads the site so you do not
have to describe it: it fetches the page, reads the content, detects your
platform, and extracts your brand details.This is a wait inside step 1, not a step of its own. On a
password-protected development store there is no storefront to read, so the
scan finds nothing and you fill the details in yourself.2
Check what Soran found
You get a filled-in draft to correct rather than a blank form. Review the
property name, a short line on what the site sells or does, the category,
the reporting currency, the timezone, and the logo.Currency and timezone are worth a second look. Every report converts money
into the currency you choose here, and every date boundary — what counts as
yesterday — follows the timezone.You can also add teammates now under Who else can access this, or leave
it and invite them later.
3
Choose what to optimize for
Pick what this property should optimize for. It is optional and easy to change
later, so an answer now is not a commitment.
4
Start sending data
Your property exists at this point. Data starts flowing the first time a
page loads on your site, and loading a page yourself counts — the check
stays idle until a real pageview arrives.Shopify stores skip this step. Creation hands you straight to the
Shopify connection instead, because a Shopify storefront reports through
the theme app embed and checkout through the app pixel Soran installs during
authorization. Pasting a snippet as well would count every page twice.
Next
Connect your store
On Shopify, connect the store and switch on the theme embed.
Install the tracker
On any other platform, paste the snippet into your site.
