DiscoFeed Go Live Checklist for Non-Shopify Publishers
- ✅ Create your account here (including setting up your categories)
- ✅ Set up any exclusions (Settings > Brand and DiscoFeed > Manage)
- ✅ Publish the DiscoFeed widget on your post-purchase pages
- ✅ Follow the 3 steps in our developer docs to implement the widget on your Thank You Page and Order Confirmation/Order Tracking Page
Detailed Instructions
0. Discuss monetization options with our Sales team, your CSM, or our Support team
You can get this process started (if you haven't already) by clicking the chat widget in the bottom right of your screen and we can get your request to the right people!
1. Confirm your categories and subcategories (Settings > Brand and DiscoFeed > Manage)
In your Settings tab, confirm your brand's categories and subcategories and adjust as needed. This will set up auto-exclusions.
- Categories: Be as specific as possible, but don't select too many, as that will limit profitability of monetization.
- Subcategories: Based on each category selected, choose the subcategory that best describes your products. Only select subcategories that directly relate to your product catalog.
2. Add any specific exclusions (DiscoFeed > Manage)
When defining your brand's categories and subcategories, we will automatically exclude other shops within the same space as you. You can add more specific shop-level and subcategory-level exclusions. Discuss with our Support team, Sales, or your CSM whether you would live to advertise our enterprise advertisers (it has been proven to significantly raise profits!).
Just remember, the more that you exclude, the lower your earning potential!
3. Click Publish to submit your account for review (DiscoFeed > Manage)
Click the blue ‘Publish’ button in the DiscoFeed > Manage section of your account to publish DiscoFeed to your site and submit your account for review.
4. Integrating the DiscoFeed and Passing Back Order Data
There can be more detailed instructions found here. This doc is meant to simplify the onboarding materials - please consult your developer to fully implement the DiscoFeed!
- Integrating the DiscoFeed: The DiscoFeed operates via WebSDK, embedded via a few lines of Javascript on your Thank You and Order Confirmation/Order Tracking pages. You'll need to locate your Disco Publisher ID for this step.
- Mounting point for the DiscoFeed: Specify where on the post-purchase pages the DiscoFeed should load.
- Passing order data back to Disco: For our AI to work properly and provide the most relevant recommendations to your shoppers, we request sending back your order data via some lines of Javascript.
While the minimum information we need for you to go live is an identifier (i.e. raw email or SHA256 hashed email), page type (i.e. Thank You vs. Order Status pages), and OrderID or ActionID, more contextual information will create the best possible experience for your shoppers. Some of those fields.
What to Expect After Setup
After our team reviews your setup and confirms you are live for publishing, you'll start monetizing instantly! You will start to see publisher performance in your Disco dashboard within a few hours. Please head to our doc on publisher reporting here.
