EXPERIMENTATION
A/B testing is a critical activity to the online businesses interviewed.
Experimentation with new features can offer clues about customer behaviour. But
to understand the impact of changes, Payments Teams rely heavily on A/B or split
testing, which is a way to understand customer responses to alternate versions of

Offering new features can also result in surprising and often counter-intuitive
results which reveal valuable insights about customer behaviour.

expectations, a sizeable minority of customers chose
the option to pay now. Intuitively, one would have
expected most customers to pay later to benet from
a period of free credit while still maintaining a
guaranteed reservation.
