How Do I Automatically Insert Tracking Numbers In Shopify?

Hi, this is Theo from Hopps and we're going to briefly talk about adding tracking numbers to your Shopify store. So to answer your question directly, no, there is not a way to automatically add tracking numbers to your Shopify store.
You have to do it manually. You have to have somebody do it manually. However, there is a solution coming soon for that.
So what's happening here is when you have an order, come in, I'm sure you probably know this by now, but you'll have your orders.
You'll go to your orders and you will simply go to set order. And if it's a FedEx tracking number ups, USP S the market's fulfilled, and then you will place for tracking number here.
And it will, if it's USP as FedEx ups, it'll automatically, you know, switch over to the, to that perspective. One, be sure to select this button so that the customer gets the automated fulfilled email with the tracking number and in place.
So yes, there is no way to automatically do this. You have to do it manually. However, there is a solution coming.
It is called unify and unify is it's going to be an all-inclusive place for people who are running online stores more specifically for people who are doing online retail, and you'll, you'll be able to do many, many different things with unifying, but the coolest thing you'll be able to do with you, if I, as eventually, what you can do is you can put your connectivity to whomever you are sourcing your products from, have them build a unified profile for free.
Everyone who does sourcing manufacturing has a free notify, a profile. And what can happen is when you receive your order, your Shopify account will ping, unify all the order information.
You can log into unifying, click one button, and it will send all the order information to your respective manufacturer or source whomever to receive that order information.
And when they received the, have their tracking number ready, all they have to do is simply put the tracking number into unifying, and it will then ping that tracking number into Shopify, and automatically you'll have the option to automatically let all tracking numbers, ping the Shopify and go straight to your customer without you having to log in and manually copy and paste them and, or miss emails in any of that.
It'll be seamless unify right now is in beta stages. If you're interested in signing up for unify, all you have to do is go to is contact field at unifying.
Okay. Contact me basically. And you'll be able to get right into that section and get you signed up on the beta testing.
But to answer your question straight up, no, there is no way to do that. You have to actually do it manually at this current stage in time.
Thanks.

How Do I Add Banner, Collection, And Video To The Page ?

Hi, this is Theo from Hopps help and today we're going to be talking about how to add a video to your page in Shopify.
So, there's a couple of different ways to do this, and you're going to want to have to do it on a specific page option.
So, let's talk about a YouTube video. For example, I'm going to grab this, this video right here, and we're just going to go to like a product page.
As an example, you can also do this on an actual, just page as well. So, we're going to go here and here's, here's a product page and what you're gonna want to do is in this product page, make a space.
And once you have a space open, go to insert video link, and what you're going to want to do, grab the video that you're looking to insert.
Okay. And just click share, click embed, and then click on the code there. And it will allow you to embed that code right into that embedded space in Shopify.
And then you'll have the option for that particular video to show up on your pages. And it's the same, same methodology for like an actual like a page.
If you were to just do that for your particular, like, let's say you had an about us page, right? You want it to do the same thing?
Well, we could add that right in there. Okay. So same, the same situation, make space, select the insert. There was an insert, and then you could put that code right in there.
Okay. And then once you've done that, you can also do several things, like make a collection. So, for example, if you want it to have several different products placed inside of one collection, for example, here are growlers, right?
Here are several products that are labeled as growlers on the website. What you're going to want to do is when you upload the products, you're going to want to make that product, that product, a product type.
So, you'll label it. So, in this case, I've labeled it growlers. Now that I've done that I'll simply go to collections and then create a collection, I'm going to name it growlers, and then I'm going to make sure that it is a product type.
And then put that name again right there, growlers, and then click Save. Okay. So now that, that is there, you're going to want to make sure that all of those shows up in your menu options, right.
Kind of like your banner, so to speak. So, once you're here, you can simply go to the online store and then go to navigation.
And then once you're in navigation, let's go to the main menu. And under any of these, you can, you can just create what you would like.
So, let's just say products, Asheville, sorry, let me, let me just, yeah, I'll actually take it back. Yeah. Let's do a few products and I'm just going to just have one that says all products.
Okay. And now I'm going to make another one that says growlers, and this is all based on our collections that were made.
All right. Collections, growlers. And then we can just simply add that underneath. Okay. So now what we've done is we've had, we've created a situation where we have a video on our pages and you'll be able to create your options for your collections.
Have that be shown as a menu up top. And then when people click on that, they can go to a product, and then that product might have a video, right?
So, it's all one big machine, so to speak. So that's, how you can do that. Hope this was helpful.
This has been felt by Hopps.

How Do I Change The Default Search Box Language?

Hi there. Welcome to Hopps help where we try to answer commonly asked questions in two minutes. The question we're answering today is how do I change the default search box language?
So, if we don't like the language, we have up here you know, where it says search all products, maybe do we want it to say search our amazing products?
It's a pretty easy fix. Let's go into our Shopify backend and go into an online store and then themes. Okay, that'll come up automatically.
Then we're going to want to go to our live theme or whatever theme you want to change and go to actions, edit languages.
Okay. And because there's so much on this page, what I'm going to do is just search for this text. Okay.
Search all products. Okay. And here we have our placeholder text for the layout search bar, and then let's make this say search our amazing products and let's do an exclamation point.
Okay. Let's save now. Let's refresh our store and boom. That placeholder text has been changed. Okay. And if there's anything else on the site, any of this other language, and other search boxes, just type it in here, whatever it says, and it should pop up and you should be able to edit it.

How Do I Know Where The Traffic To My Store Came From?

Hi, this is Theo from Hopps help where we try to answer your questions in two to three minutes. Today's question is about how you can view where the traffic came from on your site?
I'm going to talk about this in two parts live view versus nonlive view. Okay. So first off, let's talk about live view quick.
So as you can see right now, this is a live view of one of my sites. And you can see that there's someone in Texas right now on the site.
Okay, cool. That's really great. So you can go to the analytics portion of Shopify, go to live view, excuse me.
And you can actually see what people are doing on your site when traffic comes through. However, this system is good, but it's a little, it's little lagged I like to use it sometimes if I want to just kind of see what's really happening on my site as I like to go to the chat widget called to talk to, so I have a chat widget that I use on all of my websites.
It's a free chat widget. It's called talk to it's a great app. And you can see here, here's that person right now.
Is it that much? It looks like they're not on the site anymore. So this is actually a perfect example. What I meant by it by a Shopify system, being a little lag, you can see here that the green.is still there.
However, when I go to talk to it looks like there's nobody here any more. And the reason for that is because talk to us a little bit faster to pick up who is on the site.
And when, so to give you a better example, if I head over to another browser and go to that exact store right now, talk to, who's going to pick it up immediately.
So let's see here. So come to Refresh the page a little bit. There it is. So, there's me looking at my own site even says where I am, which is St.
Paul, Minnesota. And you'll see that that particular browser has been at that site three times. And it's a really fast, easy way to kind of view what's happening on your site live.
All right. So another way to view how where people have come from, if you go to the analytics page and then go to dashboards on in Shopify, you'll be able to mix and match timelines and different, different time periods on your site to view not only who's visited your site when they visited and where they visited, but also different numbers within your site as well.
So I'm gonna show you here where you can go. Let's see, once this gift caught up here, here we go.
Shit lock-in okay. So now that we're here and I'm on my analytics dashboard, we can go to one of these cards down here and we can see where some of the traffic's coming from.
So I have well over 7,500 people coming from the United States to this particular website. And you can see some other, other towns as well.
You can also click the view more in-depth report to look at that a little bit, little bit deeper understanding as to what's happening with your site.
And that works well, another great thing you can do is you can also go to, let's say have you go over to orders and enter orders?
You can also see where an order came from. So like the type of conversion traffic that happened on that particular site too.
So to give you an example, I'll go to this order right here, and you'll see, on the bottom right-hand side, this item was found on duckduckgo.com.
So that is a, one of the search engines that are out there. So you can also, you know, I get a lot of orders from Google it.
If you look at the conversion summary, it will tell you where that order came from. All right, this has been Theo from Hopps help.
I hope this was helpful. Please head over to https://app.hopps.io/session/create. If you have any questions and look for an expert and they'll be able to help you out, I hope this was helpful.

How Do I Maintain My Google Analytics Tracking When I Change To A New Theme?

Hi there. Welcome to Hopps help where we try to answer commonly asked questions in two minutes. The question we're answering today is how do I maintain my Google Analytics tracking when I changed to a new theme?
So, this should happen automatically. When you, when you change to a new theme in Shopify, but there are instances where it may not happen.
For example, if you had your Google tracking ID, hard-coded into the theme, you'll lose it when you publish to a new one.
So, let's just run through real quick, how to do this. So first we want to go to an online store and the themes, and I'm just going to publish a new theme.
So let's say I have a turbo and I have my Google analytics. Hard-coded into turbo. I'm going to, and I want to change to the artisan.
I'm going to go down to actions, publish, publish, and then we have our new theme published and now our Google analytics isn't tracking anything.
And we really need to get that data. All we need to do is go to online store preferences. And if we scroll down, we have our Google analytics right here, and this is Shopify as a new way of implementing it.
And it's super easy. So, all we need to do is get our universal account number and plug that in here.
I already have plugged in. If I go to change, I can edit it. So, let's hop over to Google analytics or on a Google analytics home.
Make sure you have the right website selected, go down to admin Tracking info right here and tracking code. And now here's your tracking ID.
And so, all we need to do is copy this and go back up to Shopify and paste this in here.
Okay. All right. So, all I'm doing is I'm pasting this tracking code in here and you hit save and your Google analytics should be working.

How Do I Get Some Traffic To My Store?

Hi, this is Theo from Hopps help, where we try to answer your questions in two to three minutes. And today's question is about how you can draw traffic to your Shopify store?
So, this is an easy answer, but a harder in practice type of situation. So, to answer your question directly, there's, there are two ways to drop traffic.
After you have created your store, your website you've connected your domain to your Shopify store and you've created your Shopify store website to look the way you want it to look and you release it to the public.
The next thing you knew you need to do is to draw traffic. Well, one of the easiest ways to draw traffic and freeways to draw traffic is to post on social media.
So if you just have your Facebook account, Instagram account, Tik TOK, Pinterest, what have you, if you have those accounts, you can make sure that they're connected to your S your website and then simply just make posts about it.
And that will engage people and hopefully draw some traffic. The downside with that is that it won't necessarily draw a ton of traffic.
If you don't already have some type of generated following, unless you're selling a product and that product is super, super hot or a commodity, or is in demand.
You're not necessarily going to get a ton of engagement off of just social media posting, hashtag marketing, right? So, the next and best way, in my opinion, to draw traffic is to pay per click ads.
So, what you're going to want to do is set up Google ads, Microsoft ads, and Facebook ads as well. And these Facebook ads are all three of these ad platforms are, in my opinion, ran best when you are running campaigns that are paid per click campaigns, and you are drawing traffic to them using the various methods of Google shopping campaigns.
And then also doing shopping campaigns and marketing on Microsoft ads and also doing campaigns on Facebook, whether that's a retargeting campaign or a normal full-on campaign to draw traffic.
And when you utilize, these tools correctly, you can gain clicks from the right people who are interested in the product you're selling and thus it can result in engagement and in sales.
Now the setup process, to set up these accounts and get them connected to your store is very particular. You have to do it the right way, and then also set turning on and setting up the actual campaigns to work correctly is also very specific as well.
Don't have time to get into that today, but that is the answer on how you can directly draw traffic to your store.
All right. So, this has been Theo from Hopps help. If you have any further questions or looking for direct help head over to https://app.hopps.io/session/create for direct questions answered in person and a timely video.
All right. Talk to you soon. Thanks.

How Do I Automate Shopify To Assign A Tracking Number Once A Customer Buys Something?

Hi, this is Theo from Hopps help where we try to answer your questions in two to three minutes. And today going to be talking about how you can automate your tracking number to be assigned to a customer right after they purchase?
So to answer that question directly, unfortunately, there is not a system in place right now that allows for this to happen.
And the reason for that is mostly because there's Shopify wants to have that process be manual so that people can make sure that all their ducks are in a row when they are doing their tracking.
I've even personally seen some situations where I've had a supplier provide me with a tracking number and it's either been the wrong tracking number or the tracking number gets canceled by the carrier or, or what have you.
So it's kind of good to actually not have it be automated because you, you kind of do want to manually watch that.
So at this current point in time to answer your question directly, no, the reality actually isn't an answer for this right now.
However, there are solutions that are being created. For example, there is a system, a new system out there called unify, which is, which is one of the things Defy's going to eventually do is have the option for people to have an automated system for allowing for tracking numbers to go through automatically.
So you can, you'll be able to do that. You will have to, however, you will have to make permission to, in order for that, to for that function to work.
So, so, unfortunately, no, there's not a way for this to work. You will have to go to the item that needs the tracking number, Mark it as fulfilled, and then placed your tracking number here and then click fulfill.
So obviously you know, it would be nice if it were automated, however, it is as a safeguard and it is best, for that to happen the way it does right now.
And then eventually, you know, when systems are created like the unified system, eventually you will be able to have it be automated and just person will receive their tracking number.
Once it's available through an automated way. But as of right now, most of the time people are receiving the tracking number from whoever they're shipping from.
And then it makes sense to kind of do it manually and happen there and put it in yourself. So, all right, hope this was helpful.
 Feel free to head over to https://app.hopps.io/session/create If you want, one-on-one time with an expert in any questions.
All right. Hope this helps. Thanks.

How Do I Require Phone Numbers In The Payment Form For International Customers Only?

 Hi, my name is Theo from Hopps and this video is going to specifically talk about, requiring a phone number for all of your 2certain customers.
So, the question, in particular, is about how to require phone numbers for international sales. However, there is not an option for that.
You cannot segment between, um, uh, phone, you know, uh, phone numbers added to the cart or to a, uh, um, uh, shipping, uh, address or a delivery address per nation.

I always require first and last name and option for a company a second address as an optional shipping address, phone number required.
And that is the only option you'll have. If you're going to make sure you do that. And that just means every single person that checks out of your store for the country that you're in or internationally has to have a phone number there.
You won't have an option to segment it, but that is what you're going to want to do. And then down at the bottom, you'll just click save, and then you'll be good to go.

The two fields that you're going to want to have open. I'm just gonna get rid of everything and just show you what steps to take to fields you're going to want to have open for this is the track quantity option, spread this out, and you're going to want to have the inventory quantity.
Now in order to change the quantity of something you first must have the Shopify tracks, this product inventory option under the track quantity field.
Okay. So if this is labeled as don't track inventory, let's say that you will see that there are 21 that are going to disappear under the inventory.

Just do this real quick. You're gonna want to make sure if you have if your track quantity for Shopify is not on, we're gonna want to make sure that you select them all to be on, and then you'll be able to put a number in for those variants of each product.

How Do I Get Shipping Rates Calculated To Show Without A Carrier Business Account Set Up?

Hi there. Welcome to Hopps help where we try to answer commonly asked questions in two minutes. The question that we're answering today is how do we get shipping rates calculated to show in the store without having to carry your business account set up?
So, we're going to need a third-party app to do this because Shopify can't do this by default and needs you to sign up for like-ups or a DHL account.
So, we're going to go-to apps that visit the app store. Okay. And we're going to type in advanced rules.
This is a great add-on that expands the functionality of the standard Shopify shipping setup. And so, we're going to hit add app and you do need to pay for it though.
It is a paid app. I'm going to install it, but it adds a lot of functionality. If you need different rates for different types of products and all sorts of stuff, it can be a big help.

How Do I Set Up A Confirmation Email To Newsletter Subscribers?

Hi, this is Theo from Hopps help, where we attempt to answer your questions in two to three minutes. And today's question is about how you can set up a response to a newsletter subscription?
So, imagine when you have your potential customers subscribe to the newsletter, pop-up on your website and you want it to have them receive information back like a confirmation of some sort.
I'm going to refer over to a third-party company called Klaviyo and Klaviyo is in my opinion, the best email service that you can get especially with its integration with Shopify.
So, you can simply create a Klaviyo account. And then after you make that go-out Klaviyo account, you can add Klaviyo as an app to your Shopify account, make that connection happen.
And then you can go into Klaviyo and set up what are called flows, and you can set up different types of flows that are automated in the system, and you can go about making sure everything is running automatically for different types of flows.
And then, in this case, I'm going to talk about the welcome series and in the welcome series, you can attach that welcome series to a list and that list is then also attached to your store.
So what that list means is that when somebody subscribes to your, let's say you have a pop-up that comes up on your website, that person's email address is going to be brought into the list instead of Klaviyo.
And that list is attached to the welcome series, email flow that you've set up and you can customize what that email flow says.
So in this case, I'm just going to use this story as an example. But let me, let Lee show you a live view as opposed to going into the actual editing portion.
So you can just kind of see what it looks like. So this person, this company had someone design their flow for them in regards to all their flows but more specifically designed the look and feel of the welcome series.
And here's a person that actually signed up for the welcome series and collaborative shows you when they opened it and what they received.
Okay. So, I'm going to just click on this and it's going to pull up the flow for this. Let's see here.
Let's see here, pull it up one more time. Here we go. And you can see here, this person designed this, and here's what happens for this particular website.
You, the customer receives this information when they sign up for the newsletter. Okay. So this is a really great way to have that response.
So, if somebody signs up for the newsletter a minute or two later, they get a nice, fancy email that you designed yourself inside of.
Klaviyo all right. This has been felt from Hopps help. I hope this was helpful in regards to this question. If you need more information, please hop over to https://app.hopps.io/session/create  for a longer form answering the questions.
All right. Thanks.

How Do I Embed A Third-Party Website Into The Shopify Store?

Hi, this is Theo from Hopps. And we're going to talk about basically adding a third-party website into your Shopify website.
Now I know that this question is basically talking about how to embed a third-party website into Shopify. There's no real way to code that in, but we can use a hyperlink.
So to give you an example, kind of a basic example let's see here. What we're going to do is let's just take one of my websites and a third-party website, and we're going to pop it into the Shopify store.
I'm just going to place it anywhere. So I'm just for, for an example to use an example, you want to place this link as a hyperlink on a page.
So you could use a product page for this, or you could use you about us page for the purposes of this.
I'm going to use the about us page and put that in there. So here's actually, there's already a hyperlink here and there.
Give you an example. So you can see it here. We have the hyperlink here that, leads to the actual LLC company that owns this particular website.
And again, we're going to just add another one of those right now. So let's go here, marketing. Okay. And coming to copy that URL, a highlight what I want it to link to in certain link there.
And then you have the option to have it be open in the same window. Meaning just take over where your current website is or open it in a new tab or a new window insert link and save.
Okay. So now I'm going to click view and it's going to show a hyperlink. There's the previous hyperlink that I already had on this page.
And let's see here. Let's do it again. Sometimes it takes a second to refresh the page. Let me just refresh the whole, whole Shopify account right now.
And we'll view that page one more time. All right, there we go. Let's see. It didn't take well, we're going to do say that like, so let's try that one more time.
<inaudible> There it is at the bottom. So we'll click that and boom, it opens up to the site. Okay. And then you can obviously see the other hyperlink here as well.
So that's how you do that. I know that's probably pretty remedial. However, what we're going to want to do is just make sure that we embed, embed that correctly.
There's unfortunately, no way to actually code a website in, but you can embed a hyperlink into your site and have it link straight to that.
Another way you could do that is you can believe you can hyperlink into a menu option should be able to try that here.
Sure can. So here's what I'm doing. I'm putting that link, into my navigation. Okay. Yeah, here's what this is going to hell.
It was just going to happen. Now I'm going to go to the website and when I click on home, it is going to link to that hyperlink.
See that. So there you go. So there's a couple of different ways you can do that. However, I recommend if you're going to do a hyperlink in bed, that's probably the best way to do it onto a page.
You can also do it on the footer as well, which would be a menu. And that's the way the best do it.
All right. Thank you.
