Mastering ABConvert's Settings: Your Comprehensive Guide

Written by Leo

Welcome to the guide to ABConvert's settings page. Here, you'll find options tailored to different preferences and needs. From basic account management to advanced functionalities, these settings offer versatility to enhance your experience.

Let's explore the range of options available to optimize your A/B testing strategies.

Account status

You can see your subscription level and the cancel plan option here.

To upgrade or learn more about subscription plans, please go to the pricing page in the side bar menu.

Script status to check if there's any ABConvert script running on your store in app setting

ABConvert script status

You can check if the script of each test type is added to your theme in this section.

There is no need to manually insert code snippet to your theme when using ABConvert. When you start a test, we automatically add include line before the closing <head> tag in your theme.liquid file.

Snippet name for each test

  • Price test using duplicate variants or product methods: 'abconvert-price-test'

  • Price test using cart transform method: 'abconvert-price-cart-transform-test'

  • Content test: 'abconvert-content-test'

  • URL redirect test: 'abconvert-url-redirect-test'

  • Template test: 'abconvert-template-test'

  • Theme test: 'abconvert-theme-test'

  • Shipping test: abconvert-shipping-test

  • Payment customization test: 'abconvert-payment-customization-test '

  • Delivery customization test: 'abconvert-delivery-customization-test'

  • Checkout UI test: 'abconvert-checkout-ui-test'

Also, the snippet will be removed from the theme.liquid file when you stop tests.

in Shopify theme code editor, user can find the inserted ABConvert snippets in theme.liquid

WebPixel

You can see the WebPixel status, which we use to collect customer events (including view, add to cart and checkout) to use for experiment analytics.

Carrier service

This option will show up only after you enable carrier service in the shipping test. You can remove carrier service here.

to control the status of carrier service enable or not in our app, user needs to enable it to run a shipping test

ABConvert uses Carrier Service API from Shopify to return shipping rates for A/B test purpose. This service is available to stores in the Advanced or Plus Shopify plan.

If your store is in Basic Shopify plans, you will not have access to the Carrier Service API. If you are in the Grow plan, you can pay Shopify a monthly or yearly fee to enable this carrier service. To activate it, please refer to Shopify guide or contact Shopify Support.

Language

ABConvert currently supports the following languages. Choose your preferred language to use our app.

  1. English (default)

  2. 繁體中文

  3. 简体中文

Auto-sync script with theme

When you switch your theme with active tests (excluding shipping tests), you will need to re-enable the test script to ensure the test is running smoothly.

If you want to save your time and let our app do the work for you, you can turn on this option.

Please note that if there is any price test integration issue with your new theme, please reach out to our support team to re-do the theme check.

Order tag

When the 'Order Tag' option is enabled, orders linked to the test will be automatically tagged. This functionality simplifies the identification and retrieval of orders associated with the test from the order page. ABConvert employs two approaches to track events associated with orders and checkouts.

These tags often appear in order notes or UTM parameters and consist of two main elements:

  1. Test (Experiment) ID: A unique identifier for a specific A/B test or split test.

  2. Test Group (Variant) Index: Identifies the specific group (e.g., control or experiment) to which the user belongs. These markers provide clarity around test performance and help analyze outcomes such as conversions or clicks effectively.

You have three tagging options to choose from:

  1. Plain tag: Displays the test type, e.g., 'ABConvert Price Test,' 'ABConvert Shipping Test.'

  2. Detailed tag: Shows the test type, test ID, and test group of the order.

  3. Custom tag: Allows you to personalize the tag with your preferred value.
