Experiment Engine
Install Experiment Engine and finish setup
Experiment Engine is a separate Shopify app for A/B tests. Install it, then follow the Setup guide through its three checks to your first test.
Experiment Engine runs A/B tests on your store and compares the versions by profit, not just conversion. It is its own Shopify app: it runs in your Log Studio Lab account and Shopify bills it on its own.
- Install Experiment Engine from its Shopify App Store listing, and approve the permissions. It reads products, orders and themes, and creates discounts and tracking for your tests.
- Open the Setup tab. The guide says: Three checks and your first test. Nothing here asks for a card.
- Work down the list: Connect your store, Turn on the app embed, Check tracking, Add product costs, Create your first test, Invite your team and Choose a plan.
- Select Create test when the checks pass.
- Switch between Freebies Engine and Experiment Engine with the product switcher in the sidebar. The Experiment Engine sidebar has Overview, Tests and Setup, plus Settings.
- The guide re-checks when you come back to the tab. You can build a draft before the embed and tracking checks pass; launching needs them.
- If your online store is password protected, shoppers cannot see tests until it is open. A development store is fine.
