How to set it up
Audit your current description
Is it feature-led (specs and ingredients) or benefit-led (outcomes and feelings)? Most stores default to features. Test a benefit-first rewrite.
Write variant B copy
Rewrite the description from the customer outcome perspective. Replace 'Contains 500mg of magnesium' with 'Wake up feeling rested — not groggy'.
Create the Content Test
Use update-text on your description selector. If your description renders from metafields, you may need to target the rendered HTML directly.
Set goals
Primary goal = add-to-cart or purchase. Secondary = time on page. Benefit-led copy can also reduce returns if it sets accurate expectations.
Iterate on the winner
Once you find the winning angle, test a bulleted list vs. paragraph format, or add a guarantee block below the copy.

- Always test on your top revenue-generating product first.
- Short copy rarely wins for high-consideration products — test adding more, not removing.
- Use social proof language in variant B: 'Join 12,000+ customers who...'
