Using Split with a Shopify store?
Hello Split Community,
We're a team running a Shopify store and hoping to use Split to continually update our Shopify website using A/B testing. We don't know much HTML or Javascript but can learn the basics if necessary.
We're looking for guidance as to how exactly go about designing the treatments (i.e. what syntax to use) within a Split.
1. Is there a way to define treatments without code?
2. If not, can we get some detailed examples of what different treatments look like? Can a treatment modify HTML elements on a Shopify website?
So you have an idea of what we've already done, we've worked our way through the tutorials. We've created a very basic split on our Shopify website (see code and output below). The Split has no attributes and simply displays a line of text on the page when switched on.
We've also integrated Split with Segment, but are not sure exactly what functionality this integration provides. Can we add attributes to Split via Segment?
It would be most helpful to us to get examples as to what to include in the treatment syntax. Thank you.

1- Treatments are created from the Split UI (app.split.io) when a split is added to an environment.
2- Typical treatments are "on" and "off", I suggest to watch videos in this link : https://help.split.io/hc/en-us/articles/360027782151-Creating-splits-and-whitelists
3- You can import customer attributes from Segment to Split, however, these attributes can be seen from the split UI only, and cannot be used in targeting rules. -
Hi Emma,
Thank you for your reply! I read/watched the article/videos you linked to, and played around with the Split UI on app.split.io.
I have a few follow-up questions:
1. The video discusses "putting in the code for the on, off, and control treatments," but doesn't give any examples. Is there documentation with example code for on, off, and control treatments?
2. Is it possible, using split, to work with HTML code in my Shopify store? As a basic example, suppose that I have a button on my website that says "Add to cart." I want to create a split whereby 50% of users will see "Add to a cart" as a blue button and 50% will see "Add to cart" as a red button. Could my on, off, and control treatment codes accomplish this, and if so, how?
3. How can I create segments that align with my Shopify store? For example, if I have certain customers in my Shopify store with unique customer IDs, and I want to add those customers to a "VIP" segment, so that I can create splits targeted toward them - how can I import those segments from Shopify to Split?
All the best,
Samarth
