Setting up the Test Campaign URLs

Configuring the URLs right is key in running the test campaigns. This helps keep the results more precise. 

To configure the campaign URLs, click on the campaign, go to Settings > URLs and perform the following recommended steps:

1. Ensure that the URLs are appropriate for the selected test campaign.
   
   
2. If you want to run the test for all of your products, use the default setting, which is URL contains "products".
   
   
3. If you want to run the test for select products, click on Advanced.
   
   
4. If there are only select pages where you want to run the test, click on Include URL and add their URLs in each field.
   
   
5. If you want to run the test across most of the products and have only a few to be exempted from the test, click on Exclude URL and specify them in each field.
   
   
6. On the Goals page, under the Include URLs (1), retain the default setting, which is URL contains and enter “checkout or order-received", as applicable.
   
   
7. Click Save.
