A/B Testing QR Codes

Setting Up A/B Test

4. Set traffic distribution
5. Launch test

Traffic Distribution

Even Split:

• 70/30 for conservative testing
• Custom percentages

Metrics to Track

Engagement Time: How long users spend on each variant.

Bounce Rate: Which variant keeps users engaged?

Device Performance: Does one variant work better on mobile/desktop?

Best Practices

Start Simple: Test one element at a time for clear results.
