Onboarding
URL in → stack detected → snippet or AI prompt → first event → champagne brain.
Onboarding
Onboarding has one job: get a real event from your domain into Velora.
Flow
1. Site added
Paste your store or site URL. Velora creates (or resumes) the site record and scans for the stack.
2. Account
Sign in with Google or a magic link while the scan finishes. No card required to start.
3. Install
Two tabs. Same destination.
| Tab | Use when |
|---|---|
| Snippet | You like pasting code yourself |
| AI prompt | You want Cursor / Copilot / ChatGPT to do the file edit |
The prompt is generated for your domain and stack. Copy it as-is. Do not invent a site key.
4. Verify
Velora listens. Open your site in another tab. Be your own first visitor.
When it works you will feel it: Event received → your first visitor just landed.
Skip to the dashboard only if you already know the install is solid.
Stacks we detect
- Shopify
- Next.js
- WordPress
- Lovable
- Unknown (generic
<head>snippet — still works)
Wrong stack? Change the install platform later in Settings → General.
After first event
- Glance at KPIs — visitors should move.
- Open the live feed — say hello to yourself (badge: You).
- Exclude your IP so you stop polluting stats.
- Connect revenue when you are ready for money.
Prompt: finish onboarding for me
I started Velora onboarding for YOUR_DOMAIN.
Help me finish:
1. Confirm which stack Velora detected (Shopify / Next.js / WordPress / other).
2. Install the tracker using the exact snippet or steps Velora gave me — do not invent data-velora-key values.
3. Tell me which file(s) changed.
4. Ask me to open YOUR_DOMAIN and confirm Velora shows "Event received".
5. Then guide me to exclude my own IP and connect Shopify or Stripe if I sell online.
Troubleshooting the "listening" screen
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| Nothing arrives | Hard refresh; purge CDN/cache; confirm the script is in the live HTML |
| Wrong domain | Primary domain in Settings must match where you installed |
| Adblocker / CSP | Proxy the tracker on your own domain (see Next.js / WordPress install pages) |
| Shopify | Use Connect Shopify — do not hand-paste a random script unless Velora told you to |
