Setting Up a Subscription Price Test with Recharge

This guide walks you through setting up a subscription price test with Recharge 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 Recharge

1. In Recharge, go to "Products" on the left hand side

2. Click "Add Product" in the top right

3. Select all your duplicate products and click "Add Products"

4. Once added, they will show up in the list with all your other subscription products, but they will have no "Collections" or "Subscription type"

5. Either click into each duplicate product and update the subscription settings individually, or select all duplicate products using the checkboxes on the left and click "Update subscription settings" at the top

6. Confirm that you have set up the subscription type, order schedule and discount for each new duplicate product

Step 4: Check Third-Party Recharge Apps

Your subscription ecosystem may include 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.
