What each tool sees on its ownShow less
Shopify on its own
Shopify sees the order and the landing page. It has no view of the ad impressions, emails or searches that came before that session.
Timing. Shopify writes each order the moment it is placed, including the landing page and referring site of the session that bought.
Access. Read-only access through the Shopify Admin API, approved from the store admin.
Google Search Console on its own
Search Console sees the search up to the click and stops there. It cannot say whether that visitor booked, bought or left.
Timing. Search Console numbers usually arrive two to three days behind, reported as daily totals per query and page.
Access. The Search Console API with read access to the property.
