DataFast Analytics Integration

DataFast is a privacy-friendly analytics tool with strong revenue attribution capabilities.

Environment Variables

# Required
NEXT_PUBLIC_DATAFAST_WEBSITE_ID=your_website_id

# Optional (used for improved reporting in their UI)
NEXT_PUBLIC_DATAFAST_DOMAIN=yourdomain.com

Notes:

  • You can set DATAFAST_WEBSITE_ID without the NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix and Shipkit will automatically generate NEXT_PUBLIC_DATAFAST_WEBSITE_ID at build time (client accessible) via the public env mirroring.
  • The non-prefixed variable is not accessible on the client; only the generated NEXT_PUBLIC_* value is exposed.

Setup Instructions

  1. Go to your DataFast dashboard and copy your Website ID.
  2. Add the env variable(s) listed above to your environment.
  3. Build and deploy. The tracking script is injected automatically when the feature flag is enabled.

How It Works

  • At build time, Shipkit detects NEXT_PUBLIC_DATAFAST_WEBSITE_ID and sets the NEXT_PUBLIC_FEATURE_DATAFAST_ENABLED flag.
  • At runtime, DataFastAnalytics injects the recommended script:
<Script
  src="https://datafa.st/js/script.js"
  data-website-id={env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DATAFAST_WEBSITE_ID}
  data-domain={env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DATAFAST_DOMAIN}
  strategy="afterInteractive"
/>
