Theme Requirements for Product Price A/B Testing (Non-Shopify Plus)
This guide outlines the required theme modifications to ensure accurate price testing when using duplicate products. These steps are crucial for preventing price inconsistencies during your test.
Required Theme Changes ⚠️
Step 1: Remove Homepage Featured Product
If the product you're testing appears in a Featured Product section on your homepage, remove the entire Featured Product section
Step 2: Update Homepage Product Cards
If your homepage shows products in a grid or carousel, remove these elements:
Purchase Buttons
"Add to Cart" buttons
"Buy Now" buttons
"Quick Buy" buttons
"Checkout" buttons
Quick Shop Features
Quick view popups
Quick add overlays
Product option selectors
Mobile-Specific Elements
Plus (+) icons for quick add
Floating "Add to Cart" buttons
Sticky purchase bars
Quick purchase overlays
Step 3: Update Collection Product Cards
Remove these elements from all collection pages showing the products you're testing:
Main Elements
"Add to Cart" buttons
"Buy Now" buttons
"Quick Add" buttons
Quick shop functionality
Mobile Elements
Plus (+) quick add icons
Floating cart buttons
Sticky purchase bars
Quick purchase overlays
Step 4: Remove Hidden Purchase Options
While purchase options on the main product page can remain, you need to address hidden purchase options on any other pages. Many themes have Modal Popups that appear when selecting product options (like size/color):
Check for popups when clicking:
Product color swatches
Size selectors
Any product option buttons
Remove all purchase buttons from these popups
If purchase buttons can't be removed, disable the entire popup
