FAQs

Can I run a Price Test with my existing quantity discount app instead of Quantity Buttons?

No. For accurate testing, Intelligems requires its own Quantity Button components. Third-party apps can interfere with results.

Will Quantity Buttons work with my theme or page builder?

Quantity Buttons work on most Shopify themes. If you use a page builder (Replo, Shogun, GemPages, etc.), they will work as long as the product form remains intact. If your builder strips out the product form, you may need developer help.
