Use Website settings to edit a website's metadata and monitoring configuration for that site.
Key functions
General fields
- Name — display label for the website in ShopMonitor.
- Domain — the shop URL ShopMonitor tests (include the full URL, e.g.
https://example.com). - Notes — optional free-text notes for your own reference.
Cookie banner selectors
- Enter CSS selectors, one per line, for elements that dismiss cookie or consent banners (e.g. an accept button).
- During a test run, ShopMonitor clicks the first visible match to dismiss the banner before continuing.
- Leave empty if automatic consent handling is enough for this site.
Client assignment
- Assign the website to a client or leave it unassigned.
- Client assignment affects filtering, reporting, and run usage breakdown on Pro and Agency plans.
Platform type
- Shown when WordPress plugin support is enabled in your account.
- Choose WordPress (ShopMonitor plugin) or Not WordPress / without plugin helpers.
- For WordPress sites, ShopMonitor may call the site's ShopMonitor REST API when needed during tests.
ShopMonitor Plugin card
- Appears below the form when WordPress is selected as the platform type.
- Shows whether the plugin is connected, the plugin version, and which integrations (forms, shop helpers) are active on the site.
- Use Refresh to reload plugin data from the live site.
- Save the website as WordPress first — the card loads plugin data only after that setting is saved.
Save and cancel
- Save — applies your changes and shows a confirmation.
- Cancel — discards unsaved edits and returns to the website detail page.
- Back to website — link at the top; leaves the page without saving if you have not clicked Save.
Plan availability
- Client assignment — Pro and Agency plans only.
Tips
- Add cookie banner selectors if tests stall on consent dialogs that automatic handling misses.
- After switching to WordPress, save once, then check the plugin card to confirm the site is connected.
- Use notes to record login hints, staging URLs, or other context your team should know.
