Validator Responses in B2C Commerce Einstein

When you navigate to a site that's using B2C Commerce Einstein features, Validator instantly validates recommendation activities and sorting rules. The tool then provides particular responses, based on the activity it registers.

We recommend that you test your storefront with the Recommendation Validator to verify expected operation. When Validator recognizes an event, an icon appears with the number of events it detected.

Note
Note If you use Einstein with Page Designer, make sure your code is up to date. See this GitHub Repository.

Tip: Visit Salesforce B2C Commerce GitHub Repositories and Access for information about how to get access to the B2C Commerce repositories.
