We\u2019ve expanded access to one of Clarity\u2019s most powerful features\u2014Conversion Heatmaps<\/strong>\u2014giving even more users the ability to uncover exactly which parts of their site drive revenue. Whether you run a Shopify store, a custom site, or a large-scale e-commerce platform, this tool is built to help you move past assumptions and into precise, data-backed optimization.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Conversion Heatmaps?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike traditional heatmaps that show where users click, scroll, or move, Conversion Heatmaps<\/strong> reveal which elements directly lead to conversions<\/em>. You can see, in percentage terms, how likely a user is to purchase after interacting with a specific element on the page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, instead of just asking \u201cWhere do people click?\u201d<\/em>, you\u2019re now answering, \u201cWhat drives sales?\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: You might find that a product image has a 2.4% conversion rate<\/strong>\u2014meaning 2.4% of sessions where that element was clicked ended in a purchase. This gives you unprecedented insight into what’s actually working on your site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
