Click Heatmap & Dead-Zone Analytics for Shopify Pages
The Opportunity
An on-store analytics app that shows where visitors click, scroll, and get stuck on product and landing pages. It helps merchants quickly identify dead click zones, confusing page elements, and missed conversion opportunities without technical setup.
"Merchants do not know which visual elements on their storefront are clickable, which areas frustrate shoppers, or where users stop engaging. This leads to dead zones that waste attention and reduce conversions."

Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Install an app that overlays click heatmaps, scroll depth, and frustration indicators directly on Shopify pages, with automatic detection of non-clickable high-click elements and simple recommendations to fix them.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants, especially DTC brands, CRO-focused store owners, and smaller teams without dedicated analytics specialists.
Competitive Landscape
Lucky Orange, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, Glew, Lucky Orange Shopify app, Plerdy
Implementation Notes
Need a lightweight frontend script to capture click and scroll events, aggregate them by page and element selector, and render heatmaps inside the Shopify admin. Should minimize performance impact, respect privacy rules, and provide page-level insights, dead-click detection, and prioritized recommendations.
