Shopify Facebook CPC vs Instagram organic
Use utm_source=facebook and utm_medium=cpc on the ad, and instagram / social on the bio link, so weekly revenue is not dumped into “direct”.
CrossKit UTM Builder
Add standard UTM parameters to ads and social links in one click — track traffic by channel.
Tips
Consistent naming
Align utm_source and medium names across the team so data is comparable.
Reuse creatives
Generate a unique link per channel for the same creative and compare ROI.
Connect analytics
Pair with GA or your store dashboard to see source conversions.
Definition
What is UTM Builder?
CrossKit UTM Builder is a campaign-link tool that appends source, medium, campaign, term and content parameters to a product or landing URL. It is for ecommerce ads and social posts that must attribute in Shopify Analytics or a similar report. You get a copy-ready URL instead of hand-editing query strings.
What it is not
What UTM Builder is not
This page is a browser tool. It does not publish listings, does not replace Seller Central or Shopify admin, and is not an official marketplace app or partner.
How it works
How UTM Builder works
Enter the base URL and the five common UTM fields. The browser concatenates a standards-shaped query string as you type or when you generate. Copy the result into Ads Manager, Seller Central Stores or a TikTok bio. Nothing about the campaign is required to live on a CrossKit server.
Use cases
When to use UTM Builder
Amazon Stores traffic from email
Tag a Stores URL with source=newsletter and campaign=sep_restock so you can see which blast moved add-to-cart, even if Amazon’s own mail tools are limited.
TikTok Shop spark-ad landing vs organic video
Give spark ads a campaign name that matches the ad set, and organic videos a different content tag, so creative tests do not collide in one bucket.
Step-by-step
How to use UTM Builder
-
1
Paste a clean product or collection URL
Start from the canonical URL without leftover gclid or a previous UTM. Cleaning first prevents double parameters.
-
2
Fill source, medium and campaign in lowercase
Prefer facebook / cpc / spring_sale over mixed case. Reports treat Facebook and facebook as two sources.
-
3
Add term and content only when they split a test
utm_term fits paid search keywords; utm_content fits banner_a vs banner_b. Skip them on a single organic post.
-
4
Copy into the ad URL field and send a test click
Load the link in a private window and confirm Shopify or your pixel sees the same five values you typed.
Walkthrough
A real use case for UTM Builder
- 1
List every destination URL for one campaign (ads, email, bio link, WhatsApp).
- 2
Apply one naming convention so reporting stays comparable across channels.
- 3
Verify each link resolves before launch, then reuse the set for the next campaign.
Comparison
CrossKit vs doing it manually
Typing query strings in a notes app produces broken ampersands and mixed case. Spreadsheet concatenation works until someone forgets to encode a slash. CrossKit builds the string in the browser with labeled fields so a media buyer and a Shopify merchandiser share one convention.
Privacy
How CrossKit handles your data
UTM values are assembled in the browser from the URL and fields you type. CrossKit does not sell campaign names or destination links.
