Which Detail Should Lead a Product Card? A/B Test

Purchase conversion rate (CR)

Compare purchases among all eligible visitors assigned to each product-card hierarchy.

• Listing-to-product click-through rateCompare transitions from the listing to product pages.
• Product-page return rateReview return visits alongside the next action; a return alone does not prove the card was misleading.
• Add-to-cart rateCompare successful add-to-cart actions among all eligible assigned visitors.
• Unintended click rateUse predefined interaction events or usability observations to identify unintended taps.

• HierarchyCompare price-first cards with cards that place rating and review count first. Include products that have both kinds of information.
• Keep constantKeep the number of details, price, image and CTA unchanged.
• DiscoveryReview listing clicks and product selection together.
• InteractionsCheck unintended taps and returns from product pages; do not treat every return as negative.
• Separate testsTest the number or type of details separately.

1. 1Change the visual priority only, not the information shown.
2. 2Keep missing information handled consistently in both versions.
3. 3Do not calculate card information differently from the product page.
4. 4State promotion terms accurately wherever a promotion is highlighted.
5. 5Do not generalize results from one category to the whole catalog.
