@Pcoombe fr-tech would like to schedule a 1 hour test on thursday. @Ejegg and @XenoRyet can help with details.

@DStrine @Ejb1123 @XenoRyet Can you confirm a few things:

  • How do I select the Express Checkout form?
  • Any preference where we test this? It would probably be easiest to do in Spain where we currently have tests up, or we could do US if you're after a lot of traffic
  • Do you want to test mobile as well, or just desktop?

@Pcoombe You can select the Express Checkout form with a link like this: https://payments.wikimedia.org/index.php?title=Special:PaypalExpressGateway&appeal=JimmyQuote&ffname=paypal&language=en&utm_source=Waystogive&utm_medium=sitenotice&utm_campaign=C11_Waystogive&gateway=paypal_ec&returnto=Thank_You%2Fen&currency_code=JPY&country=JP&uselang=en&amount=140&recurring=false

With the key bit being the 'title=Special:PaypalExpressGateway' and '&gateway=paypal_ec' bits.

I have no real preference on Spain versus US, so I'm cool with Spain if that's easier. I also don't know of any reason not to test mobile, so let's go ahead and do both.

Thanks @XenoRyet! I'm planning to run this in Spain tomorrow 1600-1700 UTC (9-10am Pacific), and sent a calendar event for that time.

Will let you know tomorrow when I have banners.

I made a test donation (in GBP) myself btw, and it went through 😄

Sounds like a plan.

We've got one little thing still left to fix with recurring, but it should go out today. I'll let you know if something goes horribly awry.

Pcoombe added a comment.Apr 20 2017, 2:31 PM

Actually the Spain traffic for mobile looks really low now. It's not much more work to run it in the US, so let's do that.

Pcoombe added a comment.Apr 21 2017, 9:42 AM

Closing the loop here:

This ran as planned from 1600-1700 UTC in the US. We processed over 1600 successful Express Checkout donations. Compared with the current flow: conversion looks 1-8% higher on desktop, unchanged on mobile, and significantly higher (although with very limited data) on iPad.

Just to note we ran a second test of this today, from 16:05 to 17:05 UTC in the US. Results look very similar to last time.

  • increase in Paypal conversion somewhere between 0.1% and 7.7% on desktop (p-value 0.045)
  • no significant change on mobile
  • apparent larger increase on iPad but not enough data for significance
