Unit-Price A/B Testing for Shopify Prices
The Opportunity
An app for running controlled price experiments while preserving Shopify’s built-in unit pricing display. It would let merchants test pricing changes without breaking unit price calculations or requiring custom JavaScript.
"Merchants want to A/B test prices but existing price-testing apps do not work cleanly with Shopify unit pricing, forcing awkward custom code and risking display errors."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Provide native support for Shopify unit pricing inside experiment variants, automatically recalculating and rendering unit prices for each test price without merchant-written code.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants that use unit pricing, especially grocery, supplements, cosmetics, and other per-unit sold products
Competitive Landscape
Elevate and other price testing/experiment apps; most likely competitors lack native unit pricing support
Implementation Notes
Needs deep integration with Shopify product pricing, unit price rendering, theme compatibility, and experiment assignment logic. Must ensure consistent price display in cart, PDP, collection pages, and checkout-adjacent surfaces while preserving analytics attribution and avoiding conflicts with theme code or app scripts.

"Tried the Elevate app but it wouldn’t natively work with Shopify’s built-in unit pricing feature, so they would have required us to implement some awkward javascript to calculate the unit prices for the tests."
"No thanks. Is there a good price testing app that can handle this?"
Key Pain Points
