End an A/B test and pick a winner

Click End test, choose the Final version, and confirm. All future visitors see that version. This can't be undone.

End the test

1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store → Bundles or Cart Drawer.
2. Click A/B Tests and click View on your test.
3. Click End test.
4. In Choose the final version, pick a version under Final version.
5. Click End test with selected version.

You see "The test ended and the selected version is now live."

Each version's card also has Publish this winner. It ends the test on that version straight away, with no confirmation window.

What happens to your bundle or cart

• Version A: nothing changes. Your live bundle or cart stays as it is.
• Version B, C or D: its settings replace your live bundle or cart.
• The other versions: they stop showing.

At 90 days

A test can't run past 90 days. The status changes to Decision needed, and you see "The 90-day maximum has been reached." Test traffic stops and every visitor sees Version A.

Open the test and choose a final version. To keep your live bundle or cart, choose Version A. Read What does "Decision needed" mean on my A/B test?

After a test ends

The test stays in your list as Ended, with its results. To remove it, click the ... button on the test, then Delete. This also removes its analytics. Only draft and ended tests can be deleted.

To test again, create a new test.

A test can also end by itself on Version A when your visitor allowance runs out. See A/B test visitor allowance.

If it doesn't work

• "End the A/B test before deleting its live item." You tried to delete a bundle or cart in a test. End the test first.
• You can't open the test. You need Plus to open a test. See What happens when Plus ends?
• The old version still shows. Shopify may need a moment. Reload your store. A new browser window helps.
