A/B Testing Metrics
When you configure an A/B test, you specify the key metric that is most important to you, among the metrics collected from test participant activity.
Salesforce B2C Commerce A/B testing collects the following metrics:

Note: *You must add the StartCheckout pipelet to
the checkout pipeline to capture the checkout metrics. Otherwise, they remain at 0.
Note: When a site supports multiple currencies, active data raw values are collected across all
sessions, regardless of session currency. Salesforce B2C Commerce converts currency values into
the site's default currency. If an order is placed in the context of an A/B test, A/B test
statistics reflect the converted monetary value.
A/B testing metrics are updated within 10 minutes on a Production instance. A daily update to Staging runs overnight. This setting isn't configurable.
