Checkout Test QA Checklist
How Checkout Tests Work:
When you create and save your Checkout Experience Test, you configure checkout blocks in Intelligems and add them to your Shopify checkout using unique Location IDs. Once you start your test, Intelligems will automatically display the correct checkout block to each shopper based on their test group and other defined criteria.
What to Check First:
Before heading to your site to preview your test, there are a few things you should check to make sure your integration is functional:
Previewing your Test:
Once you have confirmed both of those items are true, you can preview the test on your live site. Enter Preview mode by clicking on the eyeball icon next to your test.

This will open your site up in a new window with the Intelligems preview widget enabled. In the preview widget, you'll see:
The name of the test you are previewing in the top left
A dropdown to switch between different test groups in the bottom left
A toggle to highlight any replacements in the top right
An edit button in the bottom right: this enables integration mode, where you can edit onsite content

Step 1: Confirm that any checkout blocks are displaying correctly
Now it's time to verify your checkout blocks are appearing correctly. Choose one of the test groups from the preview widget dropdown, and add a product to your cart.
Navigate to the checkout page
Proceed through your cart to the checkout page. This is where your checkout blocks will appear.
Verify the correct block is visible
If you're testing one block in multiple locations:
If you're testing different content in the same checkout location:
Step 2: Check block styling and formatting
Regardless of test type, verify that:
Be sure to test multiple scenarios to ensure the blocks are always displaying correctly. This list is not exhaustive, and these may not all be applicable to your site, but a few scenarios we recommend testing include:
Different checkout states and products
If you have a control group with no block, verify nothing appears
Verify targeting is working (if applicable)
Test on multiple devices and browsers (such as desktop Chrome and mobile Safari) to confirm there are no discrepancies.
Complete these steps in each test group, being sure to refresh or newly navigate to checkout when you switch to a new test group! If you notice any issues, or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Intelligems support!
