Checkout Navigation A/B Test
Hypothesis: By removing both
primary and secondary navigation, as
well as search functionality, users will
more readily focus on completing
checkout. Increased visibility of
customer service and trust
messaging will help improve
customer confidence, leading to an
increase in checkout completion rate.
Variation conversion difference:
+7.90%
Confidence Level:
98.74%

Checkout Trust A/B Test
Hypothesis: By introducing highly
visible trust and customer assurance
images in close proximity to the
checkout button, we are looking for
an increase in conversion rate for this
segment.
Variation conversion difference:
+2.37%
Confidence Level:
95.03%

Checkout Forms Multivariate Test
Hypothesis: By adding zip code
lookup, credit card type auto-detect
and displaying credit card and paypal
payment options at the same time,
there will be an increase in checkout
completions.
Combination 6 (Zip Code Lookup)
conversion difference:
+4.85%
Confidence Level:
97.63%
11. Checkout Optimization Best Practices

Checkout Shipping/Coupon Multivariate Test
Hypothesis: By simplifying the visual
appearance and options within the
checkout page, minimizing customer
distraction, there will be an increase
in checkout completions.
Combination 4
conversion difference:
-2.43%
Confidence Level:
83.28%

Recap of Learnings
● 4 different “best practice” changes were tested
● 3 of the 4 experiments produced statistically significant positive results
● Alterations that are often deemed a “best practice” won’t always
correlate with every user across every website.
● Experimentation allows us validate our thoughts and ideas with data
before deploying the changes to all visitors.
