When you want to test buttons within you ecommerce site and use Reedge, here is a little trick to test buttons on all product pages at once. To test on all product pages at the same time we need to find a part of the URL that is always there in a shop.

Use a multivariate test in the Testing -> Start new test area and follow the guide below.

Shopify

For Shopify this is for example /products/  by looking at examples http://shop.oneandonlyheadboards.com/products/island-sun and http://www.clothmoth.com/products/love-will-find-a-way-t-shirt

osCommerce

On osCommerce you have the following URL structure http://store.mandriva.com/product_info.php?cPath=149&products_id=495 it seems to contain product_info.php so with that we have a unique identifier for product pages.

Magento

Here its a but complicated since there is a very free URL structure that is very SEO oriented and has no reference to a product. For example http://www.magento-mall.com/sony-vaio-vgn-txn27n-b-11-1-notebook-pc.html has no unique identifiers in the URL to tell this is a product page. But I am positive we will will be able to target these product pages. I suggest we look the HTML of the button you can target:

<button class="form-button" onclick="productAddToCartForm.submit()"><span>Add to Cart</span></button>

By seeing this I doubt if we find any more of these kinds of buttons on the site and if we do, we target them all. In step 1 of the Test Wizard we select the button and the jQuery selector is

FORM#product_addtocart_form DIV.product-shop DIV.add-to-holder FIELDSET.add-to-cart-box BUTTON.form-button

so that seems pretty unique but after looking at more pages it seems that the unique part is

FIELDSET.add-to-cart-box BUTTON.form-button.

Step 1: where to test

We select in all cases the URL mentioned above and select the button. As a variation we change the text to Buy Now (in the editor you need to select HTML to change the text of the button).

Original: <button class="form-button" onclick="productAddToCartForm.submit()"><span>Add to Cart </span></button>

Variation: <button class="form-button" onclick="productAddToCartForm.submit()"><span>Buy Now</span></button>

If you like to check if it now works in multiple product pages, just paste another 2 in the step 1 browser and you see that the selections also work.

Save the variation and the original and go to next step where you can preview. We need to act on step 5.

Step 5: who will see it

Reedge select automatically the URL's here that you used on the browser of step 1. Bu if you want the button to change everywhere you have to change the part where it says: Page URL -> Starts with to Page URL -> Contains. Then in the field behind it for osCommerce users you fill product_info.php that way reedge will apply the button change to any url that contains product_info.php.

Shopify users fill out /product/ in that field and Magento users nothing, thay can just remove everything. But if you have the shop installed in a subdomain or special folder, for example shop.mydomain.com or www.mydomain.com/shop/ it worth filling out that in URL we have to see the word shop that makes it easier to find the right button and give less risk of reedge to replace the wrong button.

The Rest

From there you Continue and finish the wizard, add a goal (usually a thank you page after payment) but you can create if different or multiple goals if you like. Save the test and it will start on the given date and you will see the results shortly.
