How to handle shipping text and progress bar when doing a shipping test?

Running a shipping threshold or a shipping rate test presents a challenge: test variants are only reflected at checkout. However, many stores display a custom shipping banner or progress bar in the cart, showing the shipping text. If these elements do not update dynamically, it can lead to customer confusion.

Adjusting the progress bar

For stores using a progress bar to indicate shipping thresholds, dynamic updates are crucial to ensure consistency during testing. Here’s what your team can do:

1. Add a threshold attribute

Have your dev team add the threshold attribute to the progress bar element, including the corresponding value.

2. Enable dynamic adjustments

Ensure that the progress bar dynamically adjusts when the threshold value changes. Our shipping script will then update the progress bar correctly within the test group, keeping the display accurate and functional.

Next step: custom shipping script

ABConvert offers a custom shipping script to ensure your banner and cart display the correct free shipping threshold for each test group, maintaining a seamless user experience.

Who can use it?
