Orders: Automatically tag orders based on referring/landing site/affiliate link
With Smart Tags' Custom Order Rule, you can easily tag orders based on the referring or landing site. This is great if you want to tag orders based on the affiliate link.
The fields that you’d be interested in would be:
- Landing Site field
- Referring Site field
Shopify captures and populate both fields when a customer places an order.
You can use the above fields to tag customers that has orders with Referring or Landing Sites that matches certain text, which might contain the campaign code. Typically, email campaign links will include the “utm_campaign” code in the URL to identify which campaign it came from.
