Understanding two data types in duplicate variant method and cart transform method

We offer both storewide and product view based data to ensure flexibility in analysis. Storewide data provides a broad view of how tests impact overall store performance, while product view based data focuses on individual product metrics. This dual approach helps you align data insights with your specific testing goals.

Storewide data (default)

Aggregates storewide data during the test period. Add-to-carts, checkouts, and orders in the entire store will be recorded. This view can provide insights into overall user behavior across all products. This view is beneficial for understanding broader trends and user interactions with your store as a whole.

Product view based data

Focuses on metrics specific to each product, such as product views and actions taken on individual products. This view helps analyze performance at a granular level, useful for understanding how specific products are performing under different test conditions.

How to change your data type?

Simply go to the test’s analytics page and click the third dropdown where it shows "Storewide data". From there, you can switch between 2 data types.

the dropdown in analytics dashboard to switch between storewide data and Product view data

Understand three display level views in breakdown table

When you run a price test with multiple products, you may want to review how each product performs instead of only looking at the overall test results. This guide shows you how to switch between group, product, and variant-level views in your price test analytics.

Test group level: Shows aggregated performance for each test group
Product level: Breaks down all metrics by product, so you can compare how each product performed inside the same price test
Variant level: Shows metrics for each variant of a product. Use this if your products have multiple variants and you want deeper insights

How to switch between display levels

(Duplicate product method please skip this step)
Select "Product view data" in the Data source dropdown (the third dropdown) in your analytics page first
Scroll down to Breakdown table below, you can see the Display dropdown
