# JavaScript API Testing

Shoplift's JavaScript API enables you to create sophisticated A/B tests directly in your theme code, giving you complete control over test logic and visitor experiences.

API tests require developer involvement. Most merchants will need their developer or agency to write the JavaScript and (for manual API tests) implement the trigger logic.

This guide covers basic usage of the JavaScript API for API testing purposes. For a full API reference, see [Reference](/api-reference/reference/window.shoplift.md).
