What’s New
1. Visitor Inspector
- Navigate to Data → Visitors.
- Paste a Visitor ID into the search bar.
- Instantly see the full visitor profile: events, segments, latest recommendations served, cart contents, device and geolocation data.
2. URL Debug Parameter
- Add ?clerk_visitor=VISITOR_ID to any page URL.
- Load the page to reproduce the exact shopper experience for that ID—perfect for troubleshooting personalised recommendations, search results or content banners.
Why It Matters
- Faster debugging: Re-create a customer journey without asking the shopper for screenshots.
- Deeper insights: Spot anomalies in event streams or missing data at a glance.
- Greater personalisation control: Verify that rules, filters and campaigns fire as expected for specific audiences.
How to Get Started
- Copy a visitor ID from your analytics tool, support ticket or Clerk.io event feed.
- In my.clerk.io, open Data → Visitors and search the ID to review the profile.
- Append ?clerk_visitor=ID to a storefront URL, refresh, and watch the page render as if you were that shopper. Example https://yourstore.com/products/blue-jeans?clerk_visitor=123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000
Pro Tips
- Combine with your browser’s Incognito mode to avoid mixing cookies.
- Use the inspector to validate new merchandising rules before a big campaign launch.
- Bookmark frequently used visitor IDs during A/B tests for one-click checks.
