Verify a pageview

Do not wait for Stripe. A pageview is the first proof that the snippet runs on the published origin.

A cream card with a glowing teal ping confirming a visit.

On the published site

Open the live URL, not a local preview, unless you set data-allow-localhost.
Examine DevTools Network. The script loads from https://collect.motiftrace.com/m.js or your tracking host. Then POST /v1/events follows.
The payload is text/plain JSON with type pageview, website_id, and visitor_id.

In Motif

If an event arrived in the last five minutes, Websites shows a live ping. If the ping does not show, there are three possible causes: the snippet is not on the page that loaded, the website id is wrong, or a privacy browser dropped a third-party beacon. For the last cause, serve m.js from your own host.
