Overview

Once you have installed the Taboola Shopify App, your store will begin passing conversions (aka events) to Taboola. In order for Taboola to process these conversions, you need to set up matching conversions in Realize.

You will need to set up 7 conversions.
Creating each conversion requires similar steps - with certain key differences.
