What is a Fake Click?
A Fake Click is Visually's powerful automation tool that lets you record a series of interactions on your store and apply them as the default behavior for your users. From auto-applying coupon codes to setting preferred product options, Fake Click helps you create a smoother, more customized shopping experience.
Common Uses?
- Coupon code auto-apply (Shopify Plus only) - Type in a valid coupon code and click a CTA button to auto-apply a code
- Default Size or Color - Record your selection of size or color, even if you already have a default, to establish it as the new default.
-
Expand or Collapse - Reverse the default behavior of expanded and collapsed sections, such as the product description on the product page and the order summary section in the cart.
-
Change collection page layout - Change the default layout of your collection page, to test which works best - a grid or a list (1 product in a row VS 2 products in a row)
* For themes that include a layout button on the collection pages -
Image - Easily set another image from the gallery as the default, using the "Fake Click" widget by simply recording yourself swiping to the desired image. For example, set the second product image as the default or make the third slide of a carousel the first slide the user sees, by "faking" the clicks to reach the desired picture.
