Additional context JavaScript Tracking Client for matomo https://developer.matomo.org/guides/tracking-javascript-guide

I added scripts

<script>
  partytown = {
    debug: true,
    forward: ["_paq.push"],
    lib: "/~partytown/",
    logCalls: true,
    logGetters: true,
    logSetters: true,
    logImageRequests: true,
    logMainAccess: true,
    logScriptExecution: true,
    logSendBeaconRequests: true,
    logStackTraces: true
  };
</script>

<script>
  window._paq = [];
  _paq.push(["trackPageView"]);
  _paq.push(["enableLinkTracking"]);
  _paq.push(["setTrackerUrl", "https://stats.example.com/matomo.php"]);
  _paq.push(["setSiteId", "14"]);
</script>
<script src="https://stats.example.com/matomo.js" async type="text/partytown"></script>

I also fixed issues with cors, so that mean web worker can fetch my analytics script because there are no more errors about cors

But cannot understand how can I forward push to array with value 'trackPageView' eg:

_paq.push(['trackPageView']);

If I execute manually on console it throws error

  _paq.push(['trackPageView']); 

_paq.push() was used but Matomo tracker was not initialized before the matomo.js file was loaded. Make sure to configure the tracker via _paq.push before loading matomo.js. Alternatively, you can create a tracker via Matomo.addTracker() manually and then use _paq.push but it may not fully work as tracker methods may not be executed in the correct order. 
Array [ "trackPageView" ]

Looks like party town itself loads, but cannot send anything to matomo

Hello, I am also interested. If someone could guide us to make it work ?

I'm interested in this, please let me know of a solution

I haven't tested anything, but just a wild guess. It could be that since you are forwarding _paq.push, partytown creates window._paq.push as a function to forward the event. But after that you are redefining it (window._paq = [];), so that might be the cause why it is not working. Good luck.

I'm also facing this issue, any update?

I'm also facing this issue, any update?

got this from matomo:

Currently we do not sent access control headers with our JS files but this is something we are considering doing.

We have had several requests and made it a priority issue.

But I wouldn't get my hopes up. The rest of the support ticket indicates, that they don't really know what partytown is or what the header does. In their opinion csp setting of the site is wrong 🫠

I have a working showcase that integrates Matomo within Shopify OS 2.0. Maybe it helps:
