Question

Hi I m new to growth book and AB test experiments in general I m currently trying to work with the visual editor To enable this to work does the url attribute value when instantiating the growthbook object in javascript have to match the url targeted value of the experiment or is it possible to have the former use wildcards to target the entire site while using more specific experiment target urls thanks for any help

Thanks < brief honey 45610> Are you aware of any potential issues or conflicts integrating with Shopify The site pages use a combination liquid template files with javascript html

rhythmic-agent-34208 · Answer

Hi Michael nope no issues that we know of The simplest way to install GrowthBook on Shopify is to use the Visual Editor Just add this one script tag to your ` lt head gt ` and that s it ``` lt script async data client key= YOUR CLIENT KEY HERE src= gt lt script gt ``` Everything is automatic GA4 Segment tracking UUID persisted in a cookie A bunch of useful targeting attributes UTM params device type etc Automatic navigation detection on Single Page Apps SPAs Auto updates to include any future SDK bug fixes or improvements Plus it s fully configurable for more advanced custom use cases Documentation is at

rhythmic-agent-34208 · Answer

Sounds good Michael I ll leave this ticket open for a day or two until you ve had a chance to try it Just reply here and let me know how it goes

thanks < brief honey 45610> Unfortunately I m new to A B testing and am not sure what I should be seeing when attempting to use the visual editor when i create an experiment and select open visual editor I do get a crosshairs cursor on some elements but that s as far as I get the devtools window doesn t seem to show anything for edits Also the checklist on the bottom shows Integrate the GrowthBook SDK into your app whic h i thought was taken care of via the script

brief-honey-45610 · Answer

Hmm interesting Let me run this by one of our engineers who specializes in the Visual Editor and see what they say

brief-honey-45610 · Answer

Did you already create your CLIENT KEY within the GrowthBook dashobard <https docs growthbook io app visual deploying to production> You ll need to replace the placeholder text in the code snippet I sent earlier with that key `data client key= YOUR CLIENT KEY HERE `

stocky-grass-96160 · Answer

< brief honey 45610> I deployed the script tag you gave previously with the client key I ll recheck the key to make sure it s still valid

brief-honey-45610 · Answer

Ok sounds good If that doesn t do the trick we will follow up early next week Our office is closed today for the US national holiday

stocky-grass-96160 · Answer

Thanks < brief honey 45610> just to confirm is the `Client Key` mentioned the same as the SDK key that I see in the `SDK Connections` dashboard

stocky-grass-96160 · Answer

I d be interested to know if you got any feedback from the visual editor engineer s you spoke to

stocky-grass-96160 · Answer

One additional note I just noticed that our trial period seems to have expired i no longer see visual editor option would there be a possibility of extending that a bit to see if we can get this feature working for us

brief-honey-45610 · Answer

Hi Michael apologies for the delay Yes the Client Key is the same one shown in the SDK Connections

brief-honey-45610 · Answer

Let me speak to the team about extending the trial and I ll update here once I have more info slightly smiling face

rhythmic-agent-34208 · Answer

Still waiting for word about the trial extension but here s what I can suggest we try next as far as troubleshooting for the Visual Editor 1 Did you enable the Include Visual Experiments toggle <https docs growthbook io app visual deploying to production| docs > 2 When you try opening the DevTools window do you see the GrowthBook tab like so

stocky-grass-96160 · Answer

Hi < brief honey 45610> thanks for the suggestion I was out yesterday but will be trying it out today

stocky-grass-96160 · Answer

I think that last tip may have been it the include visual experiments had not been enabled I m assuming though that further progress will depend on the status of the account

brief-honey-45610 · Answer

Most likely yes Our cofounders were at a conference this week and that was the delay on extending the trial Let me ping them again Really sorry for the delay on that

stocky-grass-96160 · Answer

no worries thanks for you patience and efforts slightly smiling face

stocky-grass-96160 · Answer

So there s definitely been some progress the checklist now only mentions needing to make visual changes I see the visual experiment listed in the growthbook dev tools Here is a screen grab of where I am currently i have the crosshairs visible mentioned before surrounded in red

stocky-grass-96160 · Answer

would this be the point where I should see the editor control window appear in the Growthbook dev tool window as shown in the docs

stocky-grass-96160 · Answer

sorry the screengrab file i posted earlier was malformed here is the correct one

rhythmic-agent-34208 · Answer
