Why this matters
ABConvert is a Shopify app, so price tests only apply within your Shopify store. This means that when users arrive via an ad, they may see a different price on your site than what was shown in the ad — a potential price mismatch.
⚠️ This mismatch can violate ad policies (especially on Google) and reduce trust or performance.
How price appears in ads
Depending on your price test method, different issues may arise when running price tests alongside ads. (If you don't know which method you are using, check the section below!)

Potential issues
Duplicate product:
Direct linking from Shopify may create a separate product card with the test price in your ad feed.Duplicate variant or Cart transform:
Users may see a different price in the store than in the ad.
Solutions
Duplicate product
Avoid linking ads directly to Shopify product pages.
If this isn't possible, we recommend not running price tests on those products.
Duplicate variant or Cart transform
Always route ad traffic to the control group so they see the original price.
See below for how to set this up.
How to exclude ad traffic from price tests
Make sure users who come from ads always see the original price.
Use UTM tags or referrers to detect ad traffic
Route ad users into the control group
