Connect Mention Me to your site from the Onboarding Hub, using Shopify, Google Tag Manager, JavaScript or the API.
The Set up tracking step is how Mention Me sees referrals on your site. Pick a tracking integration method, then install the required tags. Mention Me confirms each tag when it fires.You need two tags:
Checkout tag. Fires when a referred customer completes checkout.
Referrer tag. Fires when a referrer signs up.
These are recommended:
Landing page tag. Fires when a referred visitor lands on your site.
Product tag. Fires on product page views and shares.
This one is optional:
Dashboard tag. Fires when the referral dashboard loads.
Choose how Mention Me lives on your site. The page groups the options:

JavaScript tags
Mention Me API
Install the Mention Me Shopify app, then verify the installation. The app places the tags for you. Open Open in Shopify admin from any remaining card to finish a step in Shopify.For the full Shopify install, see Installing the Mention Me Shopify app.
Install the official Mention Me GTM template, configure your data layer, then add a tag for each entry point. Set the template’s Environment to Test while you are still setting up. You will switch it to Live later.
Download the GTM template
Saves template.tpl. Import it once into your GTM workspace.
1
Import the template
In Google Tag Manager, go to Templates and click New under Tag Templates. In the Template Editor, open the ⋮ menu, click Import, select the downloaded template.tpl file, then Save.
2
Configure your data layer
Make sure your site pushes the values Mention Me needs to the GTM data layer before each tag fires. Create a Data Layer Variable for every value you plan to map.
3
Add a tag for each entry point
Use the imported Mention Me Referral Tag. Set Environment to Test.
Paste the snippet for each tag onto the matching page. While you are setting up, those snippets point at tag-demo.mention-me.com. After you prepare to launch, enable live tracking switches them to tag.mention-me.com.For the snippet reference, see JavaScript Tags.
Send events to the Mention Me API instead of embedding tags. Use the setup endpoints until you enable live tracking.For the API, see API & Webhooks.
If your integration does not use tags, click My integration doesn’t use tags on the tracking page or the hub row. That skips the remaining tag checks so you can continue.For placement and parameters, use the Documentation tab. The hub is the checklist; the developer guides are the implementation detail.
