About
LittleData
LittleData exists because Shopify's default Google Analytics integration is inaccurate. The client-side tracking that Shopify uses for checkout and post-purchase events misses a meaningful percentage of sessions, particularly on mobile and in browsers with ad blockers enabled. LittleData replaces this with server-side event tracking, which records every Shopify order event directly from the server before it reaches the browser, eliminating the gap. For brands running paid acquisition that depend on GA4 or Facebook Pixel data for bidding decisions, the accuracy improvement directly translates to better automated bidding performance. LittleData also fixes Recharge subscription tracking, which is notoriously difficult to measure accurately in GA4. The tool does not add new analytics capability itself, it fixes the data going into the tools you already use.
Elevar
Elevar solves one of the most persistent problems in e-commerce analytics: inaccurate conversion tracking. Browser-based pixels from Meta, Google, and TikTok routinely miss 20 to 40% of conversions due to ad blockers, iOS privacy restrictions, and cookie consent. Elevar replaces these with a server-side data layer that captures events independently of the browser environment and sends clean, deduplicated data to every ad platform simultaneously. The result is that your ad algorithms get accurate signals, which directly improves ROAS by training lookalike and retargeting audiences on real purchase data. It is a technical product that requires some setup, but for brands spending more than $20K per month on paid social, the improvement in attribution accuracy almost always pays for itself quickly.
