Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAppal splits your storefront traffic between real Shopify page templates. The version a shopper lands on is rendered by your theme the normal way, so nothing is rewritten in the browser and there is no flash of the old page. Every visit is counted and every order is matched back to the version that produced it.
Standard CRO optimizes one page for the average visitor. Ariven lets you build a coherent version of your store for each segment — redirect visitors to the right pages, swap content, and hold that experience across pages and return sessions. Built-in A/B and theme tests validate every change, and multi-session attribution shows which journeys actually convert.
- Split traffic across up to five real theme templates, no page builder needed
- Test a single block of copy in place, or a whole page template
- Conversion rate, revenue per visitor and AOV, with probability to beat control
- Target mobile or desktop, new or returning visitors, country or source
- Visual flow builder to route each segment to its own pages, content, and offers
- Personalized experiences persist across pages, sessions, and return visits
- Built-in A/B and theme tests to validate every change with your real traffic
- Multi-session attribution that follows visitors from first touch to purchase
