0:03 Pick a playbook

Select Create test, and start from a playbook. Each playbook says what to expect, and which goal it compares.

0:11 Setup

On Setup, name the test and write what you expect to happen. For a discount test, you also choose what gets the discount.

0:20 Versions

On Versions, set what each version changes, here a percent off. Traffic is split fifty fifty by default, and it must add up to one hundred percent.

0:31 Audience

Audience decides who joins the test: everyone, or only some shoppers.

0:37 Goal

Pick the main goal before you start: profit per visitor, revenue per visitor, conversion rate or average order value. Watch outs flag a version that does worse on another metric.

0:51 Schedule

On Schedule, choose when it starts and ends, and run whole weeks. The estimate shows how long a small change needs at your traffic.

1:00 Review and launch

On Review, every required check must pass, and then you select Launch test.
