Shopify - Powered by Fueled
Good to know: Event Cloud source
The Shopify - Powered by Fueled is an event source. This means that it sends data as events, which are behaviors or occurrences tied to a user and a point in time. Data from these sources can be loaded into your Segment warehouses, and also sent to Segment streaming destinations. Learn more about cloud sources.
Fueled is a 1st-party event collector, designed specifically for eCommerce. Fueled captures the first-party and zero-party events that fire on a Shopify website, and sends them to various destinations - most notably, Segment. Fueled leverages a combination of client-side and server-side event collection technologies to provide reliable, accurate event tracking. In addition to tracking website events in the browser, Fueled tracks offline purchase events, such as point-of-sale orders and subscription rebilling events triggered by Shopify apps like ReCharge Payments, Smartrr, Bold Subscriptions, and Skio.
With Fueled, Shopify merchants can implement Segment event tracking in minutes — without writing any code.
Shopify merchants can try Fueled’s Segment integration free for 15 days.
This integration is maintained by Fueled. Contact the Fueled Support team with any questions.

Stream
Fueled’s Shopify source streams events into Segment. It uses server-side methods to send track
, identify
, and page
events to Segment. These events are then available in any Segment destination that accepts server-side events, and are available in a schema in your data warehouse so you can query using SQL.
The default behavior is for Fueled to pass the email address of identified users as the Segment userId
, when it’s available.
Events
The table below lists events that Fueled’s Shopify Source automatically sends to Segment. These events appear as tables in your warehouse, and as regular events in other destinations. Fueled’s Shopify Source includes the userId
(the customer’s email address) if available.
Fueled’s Shopify Source also supports custom events captured client-side by Fueled’s javascript library and sent to Segment. To learn more about sending custom events to Segment, visit this Learning Center article.
