Time of Day Segmentation

Shared by Haim • May 13, 2026

You can now run A/B tests in your Extensions and Shipping Methods, targeted by the hour or day a shopper checks out.

A clean win at the aggregate level can hide completely different shopper behavior underneath. A Saturday basket-builder and a Tuesday reorder are not the same buyer. Average them, and the sharpest signal in your test goes flat.

How it works:

  • Set up an A/B test in Extensions or Shipping Methods like you normally would
  • Add a time-of-day or day-of-week condition (weekends only, weekdays 11am–2pm, late-night browsers, etc.)
  • PDQ runs the variant only when the condition matches, and reports results by segment
  • See the lift for each window, not just the average

What you can configure:

  • Hour-of-day windows: lunchtime, evenings, late nights, or any custom range
  • Day-of-week conditions: weekends, weekdays, specific days
  • Combine with existing segments: stack with first-time vs. returning, AOV bands, or geo
  • Compare across time slices: see exactly where the lift came from

Try it (when the time is right!)
