   • Test groups & price adjustments
   • Traffic split

4. Launch Your Test.

Step 4: QA Before Launch

Because subscription pricing involves multiple systems (Shopify + Recharge + TestSignal), always perform a full QA:

• Correct subscription price shows for each variant
• Discount percentage updates correctly
• Subscription frequency remains unchanged
• Cart & checkout reflect the correct subscription amount
• Order in Shopify shows correct subscription pricing
• Recharge dashboard reflects correct recurring price

Use TestSignal’s preview/test links to validate each variant before launching.

How TestSignal Handles Recharge Pricing

When integrated:

• TestSignal assigns visitors to a test group
• TestSignal updates the subscription pricing via Recharge API
• Recharge renders the correct subscription pricing on the product page.
• Shopify checkout processes the order with the assigned variant price.
• Recurring billing follows the test group’s pricing configuration.

This ensures subscription A/B tests remain statistically accurate and technically stable.

Custom Subscription UI?

If your theme uses a custom Stay.AI widget implementation:

• Ensure price elements update dynamically
• Confirm no hardcoded pricing exists in the theme
• Work with your dev team if pricing does not reflect test variants

TestSignal support team can assist if custom theme adjustments are required.
