Increase WooCommerce Revenue with A/B Testing. Track Real Sales, Not Just Clicks.

== Description ==

= Increase WooCommerce Revenue with A/B Testing. Track Real Sales, Not Just Clicks =

Most A/B tests optimise clicks. abtestkit helps you optimise revenue.

Test product pages, pricing, images, copy and layouts inside WordPress, then see which version drives more orders and more revenue in your WooCommerce store.


### Why abtestkit?
* **Find hidden revenue in your store** - test the changes that affect orders, revenue per visitor, and overall sales.
* **Track real sales, not just clicks** - see which variation actually makes you more money.
* **Built for WooCommerce growth** - test product pages, pricing, images, descriptions, galleries and more.
* **Move faster without guesswork** - launch tests inside WordPress and let abtestkit show the winning version.
* **Protect your live store setup** - product testing is SKU & stock safe, with Version B kept out of public listings.
* **Works with the tools you already use** - Gutenberg, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Oxygen, Brizy, Breakdance, and more.
* **Keep control of your data** - data stays in your WordPress database with privacy-friendly tracking.
* **Works with caching and performance plugins** - built for real-world WooCommerce sites.

abtestkit helps WooCommerce store owners stop leaving revenue on the table.

### Use cases
- Test whether a **product price change** increases revenue or quietly hurts sales.
- Find out which **product image or gallery** leads to more purchases.
- Compare two **product descriptions** to see which one converts better.
- Test different **call-to-action text** to increase clicks and completed orders.
- Compare **layouts, headlines and content blocks** on landing pages and product pages.
- Test **ACF templates** and custom product content without guessing.
- Let abtestkit analyse performance and **show you which version wins**.

**Every change on your site could lead to missed revenue. Test the change, find the winner, and apply it with confidence.**

### See the revenue impact of every test

abtestkit is built for WooCommerce users who care about commercial results, not vanity metrics.

Use it to answer questions like:

- Which product page version brings in more revenue?
- Does a lower price increase total sales, or just reduce margin?
- Which image, layout or copy leads to more completed purchases?
- Which variation gives you a better return from the same traffic?

If your store is getting traffic already, every untested product page could be hiding revenue upside.

abtestkit helps you find it.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What page builders are supported? =
All major WordPress builders: **Gutenberg**, **Elementor**, **Beaver Builder**, **Bricks**, **Oxygen**, **Brizy**, and more.  
Full-page testing works universally.

= What themes are supported? =
abtestkit works with all themes.

= How are winners decided? =
abtestkit supports both manual and automatic testing. You can review the data yourself or let the plugin declare a winner using Bayesian confidence, then apply the winning version in one click.

= Is it compatible with Advanced Custom Fields? =
Yes, ACF works for WooCommerce product testing, pages and posts.

= Does Version B show up in blog lists, shop/catalog pages, or site search? =
No. Version B is kept out of front-end listings (latest posts loops, archives, product grids, internal search, etc.) so only one "real" page/product appears to users.

= How are visitors assigned to A vs B? =
Visitors are assigned consistently (sticky) so they keep seeing the same version during the test. Distribution is split evenly by default.

= How does product testing work? =
WooCommerce product tests use a Version B "shadow product" so you can test pricing, images, descriptions, galleries and other product content safely, without creating a second public-facing product in your store.

= Does Version B change SKU, stock, or orders? =
No. SKU, stock and ordering behaviour remain tied to the live WooCommerce product experience, so you can test commercial changes without creating duplicate product confusion or inventory conflicts.

= Do product versions stay consistent across the user experience? =
When a visitor lands on your site, they will consistently see the assigned version everywhere - across the catalogue, product cards, product page, checkout and after sales emails.

= Where is data stored? =
All impression and click events are stored in your WordPress database (`wp_ab_test_events` table).

= Is this plugin free? =
Yes. abtestkit is free to use, with powerful WooCommerce and WordPress testing features available in the base plugin. Premium features may be released in the future.

= Does abtestkit collect telemetry? =
abtestkit can send anonymous telemetry if enabled. See the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions:
