Page Builder Apps - Template Tests

Learn about how to set up product page template tests in ABConvert with third-party page builder apps.

When using page builder apps like GemPages or Shogun, it is essential to understand how templates interact with Shopify’s system. ABConvert supports template testing, but there are specific requirements for assigning and publishing templates to ensure they work correctly.

Key Requirement: Publishing the Templates

ABConvert template tests can only support templates that are published. This is due to Shopify’s constraints. Some page builder apps require templates to be assigned to specific products before they can be published. If the test template is not published yet, please follow these steps to set up your template test:

1. Assign the template to a product: Navigate to your page builder app. In the product template, assign products to that template.

2. Publish the template: Click publish on the product template in your page builder app.

3. Select the original template: Navigate to ABConvert and choose the product template that includes your test product.

1. Select the variant template: Select any other template you want to test against as the variant. The variant template does not need to be assigned to the same product. In this example, the page builder template can now be selected because it is published.

Your settings should look like this:

Here, the original template is your original product page template, and the variant template is the published page builder template.

Important Notes

• Only products selected in the page builder app’s Product Detail Page (PDP) will render in your desired theme during template A/B testing.

• Double-check that the products you want to A/B test are correctly assigned in your page builder app before starting your test.
