The short answer
Export your Shopify customers, upload them to DataCops Ads Warmup, check the 0 to 10 match score, and send them to Meta, Google Ads and TikTok so a new campaign starts with real buyers to learn from.
DataCops is a tool that fixes Shopify tracking from a server, so your ads hear about every paid order, not only the ones a browser script managed to report.
How DataCops does it on Shopify:
- Every paid order, server-side. The DataCops Shopify app listens for Shopify's paid-order webhook and sends each order as a Purchase, with value and currency, to Meta, Google Ads, TikTok and LinkedIn. Shop Pay and Apple Pay orders count too.
- The steps before the sale. Its Web Pixel inside Shopify reports add to cart, checkout, payment info and search.
- Counted once. The pixel and the server share the same order ID, so a purchase is not counted twice.
- The click survives Safari. One script and one DNS record collect on your own domain, click IDs are kept on the server for up to 90 days, and a signed server-set cookie lasts up to 400 days where enabled.
- Real people only. Every visit gets a bot verdict, with a Real people only switch per ad platform (off by default).
- Proof. A delivery log shows each send as sent, held, skipped or failed, with the reason.
Best for: Shopify stores that run paid ads and want the ad platforms to see the sales Shopify already recorded.
Why start with past buyers
A new ad account, a new pixel or a new campaign has no purchases to learn from. It spends its first budget guessing. Your past buyers answer the question the platform is asking: who pays?
Ads Warmup is DataCops' flagship feature. It sends those buyers to the platform as signal before the campaign spends.
The steps
- Export from Shopify. In Customers, export a CSV. Email is enough; phone and name help the match.
- Upload to Ads Warmup. DataCops reads your columns. Up to 20,000 rows per upload.
- Read the match score. A 0 to 10 estimate per person, before you send.
- Pick the event. Purchase, Lead, Complete registration, Add to cart or Schedule.
- Send. To Meta, Google Ads and TikTok. You get a sent, skipped or failed result per person.
What to know before you send
- Dates. Each row is dated when you send, not with the old order date.
- Google. Google Ads credits only people who clicked a Google ad.
- Consent. Only send people you may legally send. Check your own terms.
- Preview is free. Read the scores first; sending needs a paid plan.

When not to use DataCops
- You do not run paid ads. Tracking is for feeding ad platforms; with no ads, a native Shopify setup is enough.
- You only sell in person with Shopify POS. The app sends online paid orders, not POS sales.
- You want refunds taken back out of Meta or TikTok. A refund marks the Purchase refunded in DataCops and is corrected on Google Ads, not on Meta or TikTok.
