Preview and QA
Use preview links and check the experience before going live.
Check your experiment before going live
Before launching any experiment, preview it to confirm everything looks right.
Using Preview Links and QR Codes
Every experiment generates unique preview links and QR codes for each test group.
Open your test wizard and go to the Preview tab.
You’ll see a preview card for each group (Control, Variant A, etc.).
Click Open Full Screen Preview or Copy Link.
Scan the QR code to preview mobile.
Preview links force your browser into a specific test group.
Always preview in incognito
AB Genius excludes admin sessions from experiments.
If you're logged into Shopify admin and visit your store normally, you won’t be assigned to any group.
Use an incognito/private window, or use preview links.
