Common questions

Is UserApproved a Shoplift alternative?

They're complementary. Shoplift A/B tests page and theme variations you build. UserApproved diagnoses what's worth changing in the first place and checks new layouts across devices before launch. Many Shopify teams use both.

Does UserApproved run A/B tests like Shoplift?

No. UserApproved finds and prioritizes issues, validates changes pre-launch, and monitors after. Keep Shoplift for the controlled A/B tests; use UserApproved to choose what to test and catch what tests would miss.

Can UserApproved catch a broken theme update?

Yes. Its pre-launch validation shops the new layout across iPhone, Android, and desktop and flags issues such as a checkout button hidden below the fold, before the update reaches customers.

Do I need a lot of traffic, like I do for Shoplift tests?

No. UserApproved diagnoses issues with AI agents and your analytics rather than waiting for a test to reach significance, so it works on lower-traffic stores and delivers findings on day one.
