Step 3: Install mandera on Your CMS

Depending on your platform, here’s how to add the tracking code effortlessly:

WordPress

For WordPress users, check out our WordPress Quick-Start Guide for detailed steps. The simplest method is:

  • Use a free plugin like WPCode or Head & Footer Code, or your theme’s built-in option.
  • Add the mandera snippet to the section via the plugin or theme settings. Examples:
    • Elementor: Go to Elementor > Custom Code > Add New > Name it (e.g., “mandera”) > Set Location to <head> > Paste the snippet > Publish.
    • Divi: Go to Divi > Integration > “Add Code to the <head>” > Paste the snippet > Save.
    • Astra, Gutenberg, Oxygen Builder, WP Bakery, Beaver Builder, GeneratePress: Use a plugin like WPCode.

Shopify

  1. Go to Online Store > Themes > Actions (“…”) > Edit Code.
  2. Open the theme.liquid file (under Layout).
  3. Find </head> (use CMD + F or CTRL + F).
  4. Paste the mandera snippet just above </head>.
  5. Save your changes.

Wix

  1. Go to Settings > Tracking Tools > Manage > + New Tool.
  2. Select “Custom” and paste your mandera tracking code.
  3. Set it to load on “All Pages,” “Load code once,” and place in “Head.”
  4. Click Apply.

Squarespace

  1. Open the Code Injection Panel.
  2. Paste your mandera tracking code in the Header section.
  3. Save your changes.

Step 4: Verify Your Installation

After adding the tracking code, mandera will check if it’s working correctly during registration. You can:

  • Open your website in a new browser tab and click through a few pages to trigger verification automatically, or
  • Skip this step and set up tracking later.

We recommend the first option for a seamless setup.
