Verifying Recommendations

After you install and configure the product recommendations module, you can verify that the behavioral data is being sent to Magento. You can use developer tools available in Chrome or you can install the Snowplow Chrome extension.

Verify using developer tools in Chrome

To ensure that the DataServices.js file is loading on all site pages:

1. In Chrome, choose Customize and control Google Chrome then select More Tools > Developer Tools.
2. Choose the Network tab then select the JS type.
3. Filter for ds.
4. Reload page.

5. You should see ds.js or ds.min.js.

   

To ensure events are firing on pages across your site (home, product, checkout, and so on):

1. In Chrome, choose Customize and control Google Chrome then select More Tools > Developer Tools.
2. Choose the Network tab then select the XHR type.
3. Filter for tp2.
4. Reload page.

5. You should see calls under tp2 name.

   

Verify using Snowplow Chrome extension
