Buy with Prime has partnered with VWO to present you with VWO’s A/B testing feature to run experiments for your website visitors to make better decisions that could amplify your business.

If you’re using WooCommerce to host your store, follow the instructions provided in this article to perform these steps:

• Creating your VWO account
  
  
• Selecting an appropriate A/B test campaign
  
  
• Installing the codes needed for the A/B test campaign
  
  
• Configuring the A/B test campaign URLs

NOTE: Before you begin, please ensure you have access to the WooCommerce admin panel (admin access).

Creating Your VWO Account

Perform the following steps to create your VWO account:

1. To start off, enter your work email address on the Get Started with Testing page and click START TESTING NOW.
   
   NOTE: You must use a work email when creating your VWO account, as the domain of the email being used will need to correlate with the URL for testing. Do not use personal emails or any agency emails if working with an agency.
2. Now, a verification email is sent to your work email address with instructions. Perform as instructed and verify your VWO account. This is essential to access the potential features of VWO.

Selecting an Appropriate A/B Test Campaign

With Buy with Prime, VWO gives you specially pre-designed A/B test campaigns that you could use to perform A/B testing and measure the performances of your shoppers on Amazon. Perform the following steps to select an appropriate A/B test to achieve your experimentation goals:

1. Log in to your VWO account.
   
   
2. From the main menu on the VWO dashboard, select Testing > AB.
   
   
3. Select the A/B test campaign from the following:
   
   
   • BWP Test: To scale the impact of Buy with Prime on shopper conversion rates.
     
     
   • Reviews Test: To scale the impact of reviews by the shoppers on Amazon.
     
     
4. Once you have selected the A/B test that you want to run, you need to install the VWO SmartCode and the revenue tracking code on your website to run the test campaign.

Adding VWO SmartCode 

To integrate VWO with the WooCommerce eCommerce platform, you can search for the VWO plug-in in the WordPress directory and then follow the installation guide.

If the installation does not start automatically and downloads as a .zip file, extract the files in your blog directory /wp-admin/plugins/. Next, activate the plug-in, and then enter your VWO account ID on the configuration page of the plug-in.

INFO: Your VWO account ID is present in the panel at the top of the VWO app.

Adding the Revenue Conversion Goal Code on Your Website

Once the plugin is activated, perform the following steps to implement the VWO revenue goal code on your website:

1. Go to WooCommerce and then click Conversion Tracking.
   
   
2. Enable the Custom option and add the following code in the Successful Order textbox.

You’re now geared up to run your test after configuring the test campaign URLs.

NOTE: In the case of running any issue with installing the VWO SmartCode or the revenue tracking code, reach out to your Buy with Prime representative to set up a call with the VWO team to resolve it.

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/order-received", as applicable. 
   
   
7. Click Save.

You can play around the URL configurations in VWO by learning from this article and the following video:

Once you’re done configuring the URLs for your A/B test campaign, click Save to apply the configuration. 

You can preview your campaign before starting by clicking on the Preview button under the Preview tab or directly start a campaign by clicking on Start.

With this, your A/B test is up and running.
