Three ways to test shipping

Test the rate, the name and the threshold

A rate for each group

Each group sees its own rate, by the rate's name and price, at the shipping step of checkout.

Free shipping

Give one group free shipping and compare it with the rate you charge today.

Shipping offers

Free shipping or a shipping discount above a minimum can also run as an offer test.

    Results from Shopify orders

    An order counts only when Shopify's own record ties it to the visitor's group.

    Profit per visitor

    Add your cost of goods and every test reads profit per visitor beside revenue and conversion.

    No flicker

    The group is decided before the page paints, so shoppers never see the control first.

    Audience targeting

    Run a test for mobile visitors, new visitors, one country or one traffic source.
