What a visit shows
Questions
How soon does a visit show?
The script sends what it has about 30 seconds after a page opens, and Activity checks for new events every 30 seconds.
Can I see who the visitor is?
No. Visits are described by device, source, sections and clicks. What Activity shows
What does each row in Activity mean?
Each row is one event: a page view, an add to or removal from the cart, a search, a checkout or an order. Rows are grouped by visit, newest visit first, so you read one visit from its first page to its order. A page view row shows the sections it viewed and its clicks. Simple shows what happened and when; Detailed adds the visit tag and the visitor’s consent. What each word means
How do I check that my own visit is recorded?
Open Activity and press Start a check. Your store opens in a new tab from a link tagged for your visit. Browse a collection, open a product, add it to the cart and go to checkout, and each step is marked Seen as it arrives. Use a private window, allow analytics if your store shows a cookie banner, and give each page about 30 seconds to arrive. Install and check your setup
Can I use it on a launch day?
Yes. Keep Activity open as a new homepage goes live or an email goes out, and each visit shows up about 30 seconds after its first page opens. You see which sections the first visits view, what they click, and whether they add to cart. Filter by page, device, country or event to follow one part of the launch. Activity shows events, never totals: the counts are on Explore. Explore, section by section
How is this different from Shopify’s Live View?
Shopify’s Live View shows how many visitors are on your store now, where they are on a map, and totals for sessions, carts, checkouts and orders. Activity shows what each visit does on your pages: the sections it viewed, what it clicked, clicks on things that are not links, and what it added to cart. The two sit side by side, and Store Decode changes nothing in Shopify’s. How Store Decode counts a visit
