Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Velyr Growth Agent — how it ships weekly conversion fixes to your GitHub repo or Shopify store, the approval and rollback model, and the 14-day free trial.
What does Velyr do?
Every Monday, Velyr analyzes your site (a GitHub repo or a Shopify theme) and your analytics, identifies the #1 conversion problem, and writes the code fix. On GitHub the fix arrives as a Pull Request; on Shopify it is staged for your live theme. You can preview your site with the change applied, then approve or skip with one tap — in Telegram or from your dashboard.
How is Velyr different from a CRO agency or an A/B testing tool?
A CRO agency hands you a slide deck of recommendations; an A/B testing tool gives you a dashboard and leaves the implementation to you. Velyr writes the actual code change and stages it for your approval. It runs every week automatically, and if a shipped change hurts your numbers, it proposes a rollback.
Do I have to approve every change?
Yes. Nothing ships without your explicit approval. You see the exact code change before deciding, and a Preview button shows your site with the change applied — on GitHub via your host's PR preview deploy (when your host builds one), on Shopify on a safe throwaway copy of your theme that is deleted once you decide.
What does it optimize for?
The goal you choose. Tell the agent the one action that matters most — start a trial, add to cart, book a call — and it prioritizes fixes for that goal and measures every shipped change against it, alongside bounce rate. Without a goal it optimizes engagement and bounce.
How does Velyr connect to my code?
For a GitHub repo, you install the Velyr GitHub App through a standard GitHub OAuth flow; the browser never holds your GitHub token, and nothing merges without your YES. For a Shopify store, you authorize Velyr on your store through Shopify's standard authorization screen and pick the theme it should work on; nothing is written to your theme without your YES.
Does it work with Shopify?
Yes, two ways. Connect your store directly during onboarding: Velyr reads your live theme through Shopify and writes approved fixes straight to it, no GitHub needed. Or, if your theme is already synced to a GitHub repo via Shopify's official GitHub integration, connect that repo instead and every fix arrives as a pull request.
Does it work with the Next.js App Router?
Yes. Velyr supports both the Next.js Pages Router and App Router, as well as plain React and Vite projects. For App Router it discovers your routes from the filesystem (app/**/page and layout files).
What analytics does it need?
Velyr reads your traffic, bounce rate, scroll depth, and click behavior from PostHog. During onboarding you add a small analytics snippet to your site — on Shopify the agent offers to add it to your theme for you, gated on your approval — so its fixes are grounded in how visitors actually behave, not just how the code is laid out.
Can it track my competitors?
Yes. You can track up to two competitor URLs; Velyr snapshots them weekly, factors their changes into its analysis, and pings you on Telegram when a weekly snapshot shows one of them changed their hero, pricing, or main call-to-action.
What happens if a change makes things worse?
Velyr compares your bounce rate in the 48 hours after each shipped fix with the 48 hours before — scoped to the pages the fix touched where possible, site-wide otherwise. If it rose 15 percentage points or more, it proposes a rollback: a revert PR on GitHub, or restoring the previous theme files on Shopify. You approve it like any other change.
What are Brand Guardrails?
Your written rules about what the agent shouldn't change — specific copy, design elements, claims. They are handed to the agent as hard constraints on every run.
Does it analyze my whole funnel or just the homepage?
Your whole funnel. Velyr maps every page of your site and cross-references them with your PostHog analytics — including how far visitors scroll on each page and what they actually click — to find where users drop off, then prioritizes the highest-impact fix.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 14 days, all features included, no credit card required. If you do nothing, the trial simply expires and you're never charged.
What happens when the trial ends?
The agent pauses — nothing is charged automatically, because no card is on file. To keep it running, you subscribe from your dashboard for €49/month, and you can cancel that anytime.
Which sites are supported?
React, Next.js, or Vite projects in a GitHub repo that auto-deploys — Vercel, Netlify, Render, Railway or Cloudflare Pages — and Shopify stores, connected directly or via GitHub theme sync. Not supported: Wix, Squarespace, Webflow.
