⚠️ Preview mode is currently only available for users using "cart transform" price test method.
You can now preview your cart transform price test before launching it live in your store. This helps you confirm that your price test looks and works as expected without affecting your live customers!
When to use this
Use preview mode when you want to:
Verify that product prices and variants appear correctly before publishing
Check that the cart and checkout logic work as intended
Share a preview with teammates or clients for approval
Test visual or pricing differences safely in a draft theme
How to set up preview price test
We have a video demo for those do not have time to read through everything!
Step 1: Prepare a duplicate of your live theme
Preview tests run in draft themes, not your live store.
In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
Click Actions > Duplicate on your current live theme.
Rename the duplicate to something like Price Test Preview for easy tracking.
Step 2: Create your price test
Follow the standard steps to set up a price test in ABConvert.
When you reach the Final Review step, you’ll see a Preview button next to Create Test.
Step 3: Create a preview test
Once you click on Preview, a modal will show up.
In the modal, select one of your unpublished themes (choose the duplicate you just created).
Click Create Preview to generate your preview test.
ABConvert will now prepare your preview version and redirect you to the preview analytics page.
Step 4: Explore your preview
Once your preview is ready:
You’ll be taken to a Preview Analytics page.
Click View Preview URLs to open a modal with preview links.
Use these links to:
View the homepage for each test group
Toggle Individual Product Links to see product pages directly
Note: No analytics data is collected during preview mode.
In your preview, you’ll also see an ABConvert Preview Widget on the page. You can drag it around and:
Switch between test groups in the Test Group dropdown
Expand the Products section to access direct product page links
Step 5: Launch or save your test as a draft
Once everything looks correct:
Return to your ABConvert Dashboard.
Under Your Tests, click the three dots (⋮) next to your preview test.
Choose one of the following options:
Launch: Publish the test live immediately on your store.
Convert to Draft: Save it for further editing before launch.
