Pricing experiments

Price A/B testing that maximizes profit.

The lowest price wins on conversion and loses on profit. CustomFit tests price points, discount depths, and bundles on live traffic — then crowns the winner on revenue and margin per visitor, with a margin floor that never lets a "win" cost you money. AI models price elasticity so you optimize for profit, not just clicks.

Price A/B test on the Oak Face Wash product — profit per visitor by price: $11 returns $0.45, $13 returns $0.70, $14 returns $0.85 (BEST), $17 returns $0.62. Profit peaks at $14, not the cheapest price, with the margin floor protected. Live price tests run on real traffic, AI models price elasticity, the winner is chosen on profit per visitor, and the margin floor is always protected.

Find your price ceiling

Test a ladder of price points to map demand and find where revenue per visitor actually peaks — it's rarely the lowest one.

🛡️

Margin floor guardrail

Set a minimum margin and CustomFit refuses to crown a high-converting discount that quietly eats your profit.

⚖️

Charged equals shown

Every shopper pays exactly the price they saw — reconciled at checkout. No bait-and-switch, ever.

Profit, not conversion

The cheapest price is a trap.

Drop the price and conversion jumps — so a conversion-only test will always pick the lowest number and shrink your margin. CustomFit scores every variant on revenue and margin per visitor, surfacing the price that maximizes what you actually keep.

Beyond the sticker price

Test the whole offer, not just the number.

We'd been discounting out of habit. The test showed our hero SKU actually made more profit $1 higher — we'd been leaving money on the table for a year.

The fundamentals

What is price A/B testing?

Price A/B testing shows different price points, discount depths, or bundle structures to randomized visitor cohorts and crowns the winner on revenue and margin per visitor — not just conversion. Because the lowest price always converts best, optimizing for profit (with a margin floor) is what protects your bottom line.

The complete guide

Understanding price A/B testing

Price A/B testing shows different price points, discount depths, or bundle structures to randomized visitor cohorts and crowns the winner on revenue and margin per visitor — not just conversion. Because the lowest price almost always converts best, optimizing for profit with a margin floor is what protects your bottom line.

CustomFit maps demand across a ladder of price points to find where revenue actually peaks — rarely the cheapest option. Every shopper is charged exactly the price they were shown, reconciled at checkout, so there’s never a bait-and-switch.

Beyond the sticker price, you can test discount depth, free-shipping thresholds, subscribe-and-save framing, bundle math, and charm pricing — and run those tests per segment, since willingness to pay differs by geo, device, and new-vs-returning.

Is price testing allowed on Shopify?

Yes, when done correctly. CustomFit tests displayed price and offer framing across randomized cohorts and reconciles the charged price at checkout, so every shopper pays exactly what they were shown.

Should I optimize price for conversion or profit?

Profit. A lower price almost always converts better, so CustomFit reports revenue and margin per visitor and lets you set a margin floor as a guardrail.

Can I test different prices by segment?

Yes. Willingness to pay differs by geo, device, source, and new-vs-returning, so you can run price tests per segment and roll out the winning price only where it lifts profit.

How long does a price test take?

Because price effects are large, most reach confidence in 7–10 days at typical D2C traffic. The live significance readout tells you exactly when to call it.

Do I need a developer to use CustomFit.ai?

No. Marketers build experiments and personalized experiences in a no-code visual editor; developers can use the API and SDKs when they want deeper control.

Stop guessing at your price.
