Traffic split · Condition # A link rotator for A/B tests on one QR code A link rotator shares the visitors of one link between several pages, by percentage. The Traffic split step does it for any QR code or link: set 2 to 20 variants and their shares, keep a returning visitor on the same one, and read how many went where.

The total must reach 100\. "Even split" divides it for you. By default a returning visitor keeps the same variant, so one person does not see both. The step's results show each variant's set and actual share, its visitors and its visits, and warn you when the real split is far from the one you set. To end a test, set the variant you keep to 100 and the others to 0. What you end up with Real numbers on which page, offer or form brings more people through, from the same printed code. Use it when * Two landing pages for one poster. * A short form against a long one. * Sharing visits between two stores or two teams. Worked example ## Two landing pages for the same poster 1. 1Add a Traffic split right after the scan: A at 50%, B at 50%, returning visitors kept on their variant. 2. 2Connect A to the current landing page and B to the new one. 3. 3Wait until each variant has 100 visitors, then compare them in the step's results. 4. 4Set the better page to 100 and the other to 0. You learn which page brings more people through, from the same printed poster, then keep the winner without a reprint. How it fits ## Where the traffic split sits The split usually comes right after the scan. To test on one audience only, put a condition before it. Each variant is a path of its own.

The total must be exactly 100. Even split Divides 100 evenly across the variants. Keep returning visitors on the same variant On by default. Off, every visit is assigned afresh, which suits sharing traffic more than measuring a test. ### Where visitors go next One exit per variant Each variant's share of visitors. There is no Other path: every visitor lands on a variant.

FAQ ## Link rotator and A/B test questions Can I A/B test a QR code? Yes. A Traffic split sends each visitor to one of 2 to 20 variants by the percentages you set, so one printed code tests several pages. Does a returning visitor see the same page? By default, yes: the variant follows their device. A new device, private browsing or some in-app browsers count as a new visitor. How do I know which variant won? The step's results show each variant's set and actual share, its visitors and its visits. It reads "Not enough data yet" until each variant has 100 visitors, and never picks a winner for you. Can I change the percentages during a test? Yes. Changing the weights only moves visitors near the changed boundaries, so most visitors keep their variant.
