Setting Up a Subscription Price Test (Other subscription apps)

This guide walks you through setting up a subscription price test using Elevate.

Step 1: Set Up Your Test in Elevate

Follow our Create Price Test guide to set up the initial test configuration in Elevate. Once you reach the duplicate product step, come back to this guide.

Step 2: Configure Your Test Products

For each duplicate product:

1. Click "Edit in Shopify"

2. Make sure the duplicate products are active but hidden from collections

3. Set the appropriate test prices

Step 3: Set Up Subscriptions in Your Subscription App

1. Open your subscription app dashboard

2. Navigate to the products or catalog section

3. Find your duplicate products and add them to your subscription system

4. Configure the subscription settings for each duplicate product:

   • Set the subscription type and frequency options (monthly, quarterly, etc.)

   • Apply the appropriate discount percentages for your test

   • Ensure the subscription experience matches your primary products

   • Double-check that the correct prices display in the customer-facing interface

Step 4: Check Connected Apps

Your subscription ecosystem likely includes several connected tools that need to work properly with your test:

1. Review any automations or workflows that might be affected

   • Customer communication sequences

   • Post-purchase upsells or cross-sells

   • Loyalty program integrations

2. Update any rules that rely on specific product information

   • Adjust email templates that reference specific product details

   • Update any SKU-based automations to include test variants

3. Test your connected apps to ensure they work with the duplicate products

   • Run through the customer journey from different test groups

   • Verify that analytics are capturing data from all test variants

Step 5: Quality Assurance

Before launching your test, verify everything works properly by following our Test QA Checklist. Pay special attention to the subscription flow to ensure customers can easily sign up for recurring orders.
