Steps to Implement
Step 1: Overview
Without a single line of code and done in minutes, Elevar helps you implement all of your Taboola pixel events to Shopify through Google Tag Manager using the most up-to-date requirements from each platform.
Plus – these templates come with built-in monitoring so you’re the first to know when a pixel breaks and risks impacting your campaigns.
This integration supports all of the remarketing and audience options available with your Taboola Advertising.

Step 2: Install Data Layer to Your Store
In order to deploy Taboola’s tags and conversion tracking via Google Tag Manager tags, you need to have a data layer implemented on your Shopify store that pushes customer, product, and order data that Taboola’s tags require.
If you don’t have a data layer for your Shopify store yet, then you can utilize Elevar’s data layer for Shopify. It’s a 1-click installation into your theme.
Step 3: Download Container for GTM
Inside of your Elevar account, go to Pre Built Tags > Taboola.
Update your Taboola Backstage account ID in the tag settings shown below.
Download the container and save to your computer.
Can’t find your Taboola ID? Follow these steps:
Step 1: Select the Tracking Section in the Top Navigation Bar
Step 2: Go to Taboola Pixel
Step 3: Copy your Backstage Account ID
This is your Taboola pixel ID.
Or follow Taboola’s Help Article: Taboola Pixel Overview, under the section titled How To Implement the Taboola Pixel.
Step 4: Import Container to GTM
Next up, go to your Google Tag Manager container > Admin > Import.
Be sure to select Merge container, not overwrite.
Once you’ve imported, verify your Taboola ID variable is accurate.
Step 5: QA & Publish
Once you’re ready to go live then put GTM into preview mode.
You can navigate the site and place an order to verify your Taboola tags trigger as expected.
Remember that the data layer from step 2 needs to be live on your store in order for the variables – like revenue and order id – to populate.
