Complete the onboarding survey
After installation, ABConvert opens an onboarding survey. Answer a few questions about your store and testing goals—this helps ABConvert recommend the right experiment type for your situation.
Complete onboarding survey
Based on your answers, ABConvert will suggest a test type and offer to walk you through creating your first experiment in guided mode, or let you explore the dashboard independently.

Choose your next step
After finishing the survey, you have three options:
Tutorial mode — Risk-free practice with mock data (recommended for first-timers)
Guided mode — Create a real test with step-by-step help
Explore independently — Dive in and create tests on your own
See the next section for details on tutorial and guided modes.
