Glide has one setup step: switch on its App embeds toggle. There’s nothing else to configure. Until the embed is on, Glide records nothing.
The embed doesn’t send page views from the theme editor. Visit your live storefront to generate traffic.

​
Enable the embed

  1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Glide.
  2. On Traffic report, find the App embed card at the top right. It reads Inactive until the embed is on.
  3. Click the card. It opens the theme editor with App embeds selected.
  4. Switch Glide on, then click Save.
  5. Return to Apps → Glide. The card reads Active.
You can also go to Online Store → Themes → Customise → App embeds and toggle Glide there. The card re-checks when you return to the Glide tab.

​
When data first appears

  • Activity shows page views within seconds of a visit. Open the storefront in another tab, then check Activity.
  • Traffic report updates hourly. Until the first hour is processed, the chart reads “No pageviews in this reporting window yet. The report updates hourly, so check back soon.”

​
What gets recorded

Home, product, collection, page, blog, search, cart and policy pages. Account, checkout and order pages are not recorded. Glide inherits your Shopify customer privacy banner - see Data and privacy.
