Install Bloodhound

Bloodhound installs from the Shopify App Store as a standard embedded app. No theme edits, no copy-paste tracking snippets, no manual code. The Web Pixel installs itself on first load.

1. Install from the App Store

  1. Search for Bloodhound in the Shopify App Store, or visit the listing directly (link will be live at launch).
  2. Click Add app. You will be redirected to your Shopify admin to approve permissions.
  3. Bloodhound requests two scopes only: write_pixels and read_customer_events. That is the minimum needed to capture errors and funnel events. We never ask for product, order, or customer data scopes.

2. Choose a plan

On first load you will land on the billing page. Free is available forever. Pro and Business get a 14-day free trial. See the pricing page for caps and features.

3. Confirm the Web Pixel installed

On the home dashboard you will see a Web Pixel: live indicator within ~30 seconds of installing. If it shows red, hit the manual install button. Most of the time this is themes that override analytics.subscribe.

For detail on what data the pixel sends, see Web Pixel & data collection.

4. Trigger your first event

Open your store in an incognito window and browse a product page. Within ~10 seconds you should see a session in the dashboard. To force a JS error for testing, paste this into the browser console on your storefront:

throw new Error("Bloodhound test error");

It will appear in the dashboard within ~30 seconds, grouped under a generated fingerprint.

What to do next

  • Wire up your alert destinations (Slack, Teams, Discord, email).
  • Add per-page exclusions if you have a known third-party error you want to suppress.
  • If you are on Business, queue your first weekly security scan from the Security tab.
