Experiment overview

What A/B Testing Support Means for Shopify Merchants

CartDNA helps you compare a control checkout setup against a treatment version. This lets you test whether changes such as new payment methods, different payment ordering, or local method visibility improve conversion before wider release.

Good testing is not about changing more. It is about proving what improves conversion, revenue per session, and checkout completion.

Reduce rollout risk

Test a payment or checkout change with only part of your traffic first.

Learn faster

Find out whether a change improves performance before pushing it live for all.

Protect revenue

Avoid full-site mistakes by validating with measured results first.

Process flow

How CartDNA Supports a Structured Checkout Experiment

1

Set hypothesis

Identify what you want to improve and why

2

Build control and treatment

Create the variations you want to compare

3

Define traffic split

Allocate traffic between test groups

4

Measure results

Track conversion and revenue performance

5

Roll out the winner

Apply the best-performing setup

CartDNA helps merchants test checkout changes in a measured way. Start with a clear hypothesis, assign traffic, compare treatment against control, then adopt the winning setup only after performance is proven.

Traffic management

Control Risk with Flexible Traffic Allocation

Staged rollout approach

Start with a smaller share of traffic if risk is high. Increase allocation as confidence grows.

Limited exposure first
Balanced test groups
Expand only when performance is strong

CartDNA supports staged checkout optimisation. This matches the practical testing principle of exposing a treatment to a chosen share of buyers first, then increasing rollout only when the results support it.

Reporting and analytics

Measure the Metrics That Matter Most to Checkout Performance

Average revenue per session

Conversion rate

Average order value

Gross revenue

CartDNA focuses on practical experiment reporting, so merchants can see whether a checkout change improved completed sessions, revenue performance, and payment mix quality.

Average revenue per session is a guiding metric for overall experiment success, because it reflects both revenue and conversion outcomes across all sessions.

Confidence and significance

Know When Results Are Strong Enough to Trust

Not enough data yet

Keep the test running until session volume is sufficient for a reliable decision.

Positive signal

Roll forward when treatment clearly improves performance with confidence.

Negative signal

Revert or revise when the treatment reduces checkout performance.

CartDNA should present results in a way merchants can act on. That means clear signals, readable experiment summaries, and no pressure to call a winner too early.

Local relevance

Test Payment Methods by Country, Device, and Checkout Context

Netherlands

Test iDEAL visibility and placement for local users

Belgium

Measure Bancontact impact before wider rollout

Mobile shoppers

Compare wallets and fast checkout methods first

Higher basket

Test BNPL visibility for eligible order values

CartDNA should help merchants match payment methods to the markets and buyers most likely to use them. This improves relevance and reduces weak global rollouts.

Questions merchants ask

A/B Testing Support FAQs

What can I test with CartDNA A/B testing support?

You can test payment method changes, local payment visibility, traffic allocation strategies, mobile payment prioritisation, and checkout rules that affect conversion.

Why should I test payment methods before full rollout?

Because a payment method that looks promising may not improve conversion for every country, device, or basket value.

What metric matters most?

CartDNA should track conversion rate and revenue outcomes together. Average revenue per session is a strong guiding metric because it reflects both revenue and conversion.

Can I increase traffic to a winning test?

Yes. A staged rollout model helps reduce risk. Start smaller, then expand when results are strong.

Does CartDNA store customer card details?

No. CartDNA does not store cardholder sensitive data.

Test Checkout Changes with More Confidence

You already invest in traffic and payment performance. CartDNA helps you test checkout changes properly, reduce rollout risk, and scale only what improves conversion and revenue.
