โ Frequently asked questions
How do I get the tracking code if I did not copy it during sign-up?
Open your store's tag in Yandex Metrica, click (Settings) in the side menu, then click (Copy code snippet) at the bottom of the settings page.
Do I need a Yandex Metrica account before I install the app?
Yes. The app needs the tracking code that Yandex Metrica generates for your tag, so create the account and the tag first.
What is a tag in Yandex Metrica?
A tag is the property you create for one website. It holds your store name, domain, and the tracking code snippet you paste into Salla.
What can I see once the integration is active?
Detailed traffic statistics, visual reports, session recordings of user activity, your traffic sources, and how your advertising is performing.
Analytics only pays off once you look at it. Give Yandex Metrica a week of real traffic, then open the traffic sources report and check whether the channels you spend on are the ones bringing people in.
