A/B Testing

Sticky "Add to Cart"

Objective

To reduce mobile user drop-off and increase the rate of cart additions from the Product Detail Page (PDP).

Hypothesis

Adding a sticky "Add to Cart" button on the mobile PDP will improve the conversion rate by reducing friction and providing a clear path to purchase.

Test Variables

Variant A (Original): Default mobile product page with a standard "Add to Cart" button.
Variant B (Variant 1): A new sticky "Add to Cart" bar was added to the bottom of the mobile PDP, including the product name and price.

Implementation

The test was conducted on mobile devices for both new and returning visitors. The sticky "Add to Cart" button was created using custom CSS.

KPI

Add-to-cart rate (CVR) and Revenue Per Visitor (RPV).

Results

The test resulted in a significant improvement, with a +19.0% lift in Revenue per Visitor (RPV) and a 90.3% win chance. The test was highly successful but was relaunched due to the client changing their website theme.

Conclusion

The sticky "Add to Cart" button proved to be a highly effective design change, validating the hypothesis that reducing friction on mobile product pages leads to a substantial increase in conversion and revenue.

Bundle Merchandising & Conversion Recovery

Objective

Increase revenue per visitor by improving product presentation and reducing purchase friction across mobile and desktop.

Hypothesis

By introducing bundle-focused merchandising and strategic confidence signals (stock indicators, popularity badges), customers would purchase more frequently and at higher order values.

Test Variables

Multiple tests across 3 months including bundle visibility on product listing pages, stock indicators, popularity badges, homepage merchandising optimization, and price filtering improvements.

Implementation

Comprehensive CRO program combining Shopify customization, custom JavaScript for confidence signals, and merchandising layout optimization. Tests ran on 22% of total traffic.

KPI

Revenue Per Visitor (RPV), Average Order Value (AOV), and Conversion Rate.

Results

Revenue Per Visitor increased by 11.4% over 3 months, Average Order Value increased by 12.9% at peak, By final month, CRO-influenced experiences drove 60% of all conversions, CRO traffic (22% of sessions) generated 37% of total revenue

Conclusion

This multi-test CRO program demonstrated that strategic funnel optimization can create lasting structural improvements in monetization. The progression from behavior change to conversion protection to revenue scaling validated CRO as a repeatable growth lever rather than isolated test wins.

Cart Page Countdown Timer

Objective

To increase the number of checkout starts by leveraging a behavioral bias of urgency and loss aversion.

Hypothesis

Adding a real-time timer with a discount message to the cart page would lead to more users beginning the checkout process faster.

Test Variables

Variant A (Original): The original cart page with no countdown timer.
Variant B (Variant 1): A 10-minute countdown timer with a promotional overlay was added to the cart page.

Implementation

A custom application code for the countdown timer was added to the client's Shopify liquid file.

KPI

Checkout start rate.

Results

The results of the test showed no significant difference, with the variant having a win chance of 50%. The test duration was from 2025-07-02 to 2025-07-16.

Conclusion

While the countdown timer did not produce a measurable increase in checkout starts, this test provided valuable insights into user behavior. The data gathered from this test serves as a strong foundation for future, more targeted experiments to find an effective way to leverage urgency.

Homepage Animation Reduction

Objective

To reduce friction and improve engagement beyond the hero section of the homepage.

Hypothesis

If homepage animation is reduced, users will stay longer and engage more with content blocks.

Test Variables

Variant A (Original): The homepage with an animated hero banner.
Variant B (Variant 1): The variant was a simplified design that included a static hero banner with a faster load time.

Implementation

This test was implemented on desktop users with a 50/50 traffic split. The changes for the variant involved removing video blocks from the product grid, eliminating redundant testimonial sections, and removing an animated marquee strip to reduce visual clutter and streamline the layout.

KPI

Bounce rate, scroll percentage, and clicks on modules below the fold.

Results

After running for a week, the test showed a significant win for Variant B, with a 65% win chance and a 5% lift in scroll percentage.

Conclusion

The hypothesis was validated. By reducing visual clutter and friction on the homepage, the simplified design of Variant B successfully improved user engagement, leading to a higher scroll depth and more interaction with the content below the fold.
