Test types

One test across the whole journey.

Change the product page, cart and collection pages together, and keep each shopper in the same version on every page.

Changes that only make sense together

  • Free-shipping message

    The same threshold message on product pages and in the cart, so the promise holds all the way to checkout.

  • A consistent badge

    One badge on collection cards and product pages, tested as one idea rather than two.

  • A new size guide

    A size guide button wherever sizes appear, measured on orders rather than on one page's clicks.

Targeting: several pagesDemo data

How it works

  1. 01

    Add page rules

    Include product pages, the cart, collections or any path pattern. Exclusions always win.

  2. 02

    Build the variant

    Make the changes in the visual editor or the code editor, as for any A/B test.

  3. 03

    One assignment per shopper

    Each shopper is assigned once and sees the same version on every page the test covers.

  4. 04

    Judge on orders

    Results count the orders and revenue from shoppers in each version, not one page's clicks.

Read the whole test, not one page

A multi-page test is one experiment with one set of results: conversions, revenue per visitor and the interval for each goal, with the same peeking-safe verdicts as any A/B test.

Good to know

  • Results are for the test as a whole. A step-by-step funnel report per test comes later; store-wide funnels are in analytics.
  • Several page rules belong to one experiment, so every page shares one traffic split.

Questions

Will a shopper see the variant on one page and the original on another?

No. Each shopper is assigned once and keeps that version on every page the test covers.

How is a multi-page test different from running two A/B tests?

Two separate tests split shoppers independently, so some see the change on one page only. A multi-page test treats the change as one idea and measures it once.

Test the journey, not just the page.
