Find the delivery offer that wins orders without giving away margin. Different groups see different rates, free-shipping thresholds or delivery choices at checkout.
$75 versus $100 free-shipping threshold
Sample data| Metric | Control | Variant |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue per visitor | $4.00 | $4.32 |
| Conversion rate | 5.00% | 4.80% |
| Average order value | $80.00 | $90.00 |
| Profit per visitor | $1.50 | $1.68 |
How it works
Native Shopify rates are the starting point; a test gives you evidence for deciding what to keep.
01Draft
Create your shipping test
Pick the zone, then set the rate, threshold or delivery choice each group sees. Preview with an address inside the zone.
02Launch
Launch to the zone
Keep one active shipping test per zone, with the same products, prices and audience in both groups.
03Read
Read the result
See revenue per visitor, conversion, AOV and profit per visitor for each group, and whether the difference is significant.
Six shipping experiments
A delivery charge can change an otherwise easy purchase decision. Removing that cost can help shoppers finish. It also moves the delivery bill onto the business. Each experiment names the change, the full delivery choice and what should stay fixed. The examples use an $84 basket of travel accessories, unless a different subtotal is shown.
A higher free-shipping threshold grows basket value enough to offset lost orders.
A threshold asks shoppers to make a trade: add another item or pay for delivery. Raising it can increase average order value, but the average is calculated only among people who buy. Shoppers who leave disappear from that number.
Variable being tested
Free-shipping threshold: $75 to $100.Keep fixed. Same $4.95 fee below the threshold, delivery service, product prices, zone and audience. Same priority and express options.
- Preview both versions
- Try $84 and $100 carts with the same address. Confirm standard is free at $100 in both groups.
- Worked example with sample data
- At $30 versus $35 contribution per order, 500 control orders require 429 variant orders to break even at equal traffic. See the full result ↓
- When to roll it out
- Keep $100 if contribution per visitor improves enough to justify any order loss.
Worked result
A higher threshold lost 20 orders and still earned more per visitor: the remaining baskets were larger and kept more profit.

What we do
AI and MCP
Ask Claude or ChatGPT how a test is doing or draft the next one. Actions depend on access you grant.
Audience targeting
Run a test only where it matters: by country, device, traffic source or customer type.
Analytics
See profit per visitor, conversion, AOV and significance for each variant, with product costs included.
Visual editor
Change copy, images, and templates on any page without code. Preview before launch.
Requirements
Use your native Shopify shipping zones and rates as the starting point. Check Carrier Service API access before planning a live test. Your Shopify plan and billing configuration determine eligibility.
The selected shipping address must match a tested zone. Keep one active shipping test per zone, and preview with an address inside that zone before launch.
Third-party calculated rates are not directly editable by this module and can appear alongside test rates. Review the full rate list in preview so the comparison reflects the choices shoppers actually see.
