Heatmaps for Shopify and Wix, made from real visits

What the heatmaps show

A page's map has four views:

• Clicks: where visitors clicked or tapped.
• Rage clicks: three or more fast clicks in one spot.
• Did nothing: clicks the page didn't answer within 2.5 seconds.
• Scroll: how far down the page visits went.

Counts are visits, not clicks: five clicks from one visitor count as one visit.

How do I turn on heatmaps in Session Recordings?

There's nothing to switch on for the maps themselves: they come with the app and fill in from the visits it records.

On Wix

1. Add Session Recordings from the Wix App Market: click Add to Site, then Agree & Add.
2. Publish your site. Recording switches on when the app is installed, for the published site, with no code to paste.
3. Let visits come in. A visit is saved once the visitor clicks, taps or types, and the maps add those visits up.
4. Open Heatmaps in Session Recordings and pick a page. Don't see Heatmaps? Update the app from Manage Apps in your site's dashboard.
5. Choose Computers, Tablets or Phones and the last 7, 30 or 90 days, then switch between the four views.

On Shopify

1. Session Recordings comes to the Shopify App Store in late November 2026: once it's there, install it from the Shopify App Store.
2. In the app, press Turn on in theme editor, then click Save in the theme editor. Recording starts with the next visit.
3. Let visits come in. A visit is saved once the visitor clicks, taps or types, and the maps add those visits up.
4. Open Heatmaps in Session Recordings and pick a page.
5. Choose Computers, Tablets or Phones and the last 7, 30 or 90 days, then switch between the four views.

Computers, tablets and phones kept apart

Each kind of device gets its own map, so a layout that works on a computer and fails on a phone shows up as two pictures, not one blend.

The last 7, 30 or 90 days

Pick the period that fits your question. After a redesign, wait a week and read the last 7 days, so the map shows only the new layout.

Made from the visits you already record

The maps are built from the visits Session Recordings records for replays, with no extra script, so they follow the same rules: a visit is saved once the visitor clicks, taps or types, visitors who decline analytics, where you ask for consent, aren't recorded, and recording pauses at 2,000 recordings a month until the 1st. Because a visit that never clicked or typed isn't recorded, real scroll numbers run lower than the map shows. Private pages stay out: checkout, thank-you, account and member pages never get a map. On Shopify, checkout and customer account pages aren't recorded at all. See how Session Recordings keeps recordings private.

Heatmaps and replays together

A heatmap shows where attention goes on a page; a replay shows what happened in one visit. Start from the map to find the element drawing rage clicks or clicks that did nothing, then watch replays to see what visitors were trying to do there. Session replay covers the player.

How it compares

On Wix, Microsoft Clarity and TWIPLA also make heatmaps: free heatmap options for Wix and their limits compares them, and session recording and heatmap tools for Wix puts every tool side by side. On Shopify, free session recording and heatmap apps for Shopify compares the free plans on the Shopify App Store.
