# Price Tests with Duplicate Products

{% hint style="danger" %}
If your store meets the criteria specified on [this page](https://docs.shoplift.ai/test/price-testing/overview), we recommend testing prices in Shoplift with [Price tests](https://docs.shoplift.ai/test/price-testing/create-a-price-test). However, if your store does not meet the criteria, we recommend trying to test prices with duplicate products.

Setting up duplicate product tests can be **very technical**, requiring thorough QA and monitoring to ensure tests are set up correctly. Therefore, we suggest working closely with a team of developers or upgrading to our [Pro plan](https://www.shoplift.ai/pricing) before launching a test with duplicate products.

It's important to note that price tests are inherently high-risk tests. While we provide a few approaches to conduct these tests, it is your responsibility to QA these tests and methods prior to exposing a wider audience, to confirm that the user experience and level of risk is acceptable.

### Considerations before getting started 

If your store meets the criteria specified on [this page](https://docs.shoplift.ai/test/price-testing/overview), we recommend testing prices in Shoplift with [Price tests](https://docs.shoplift.ai/test/price-testing/create-a-price-test). However, if your store does not meet the criteria, we recommend trying to test prices with duplicate products.

Price tests with duplicate products can be achieved using URL split tests or theme tests. The types of price tests that can be conducted will vary and depend on your particular product catalogue and theme. When running price tests with Shoplift, it is important that you understand where prices will and will not be changed on your storefront, and which visitors will or will not see each price.

Discussed below are a few approaches to price testing that may or may not work for your unique use case.

Testing product prices with Shoplift is an advanced use case, and setup will differ in complexity depending on your product catalogue, your theme, and what is being tested.&#x20;

As price elements can appear in multiple places across your site, these tests might require additional steps to be taken to set up correctly.

If you would like a member of our support team to walk you through the process of building this type of test, consider upgrading to our [Pro plan](https://www.shoplift.ai/pricing) for dedicated support.
