Is there an easy way to split our entire list of subscribed customers and split them into 2 unique segments/lists for A/B Testing Shopify Emails? I reached out Shopify support and they said we can add a Tag to half of our subscriber list, but we have nearly 40K subscribers, so this would take a long time. Is there an easier way to accomplish this?
Topic summary
Main issue: How to split a Shopify email subscriber list into two distinct segments for A/B testing without manual effort.
- Context: A/B testing compares two email variations to measure performance. Segmentation is grouping subscribers; Shopify “Tags” are labels added to customers to build segments.
- Current approach suggested by Shopify support: Manually add a Tag to half of the ~40,000 subscribers, then target each segment separately.
- Problem: Manual tagging at this scale is time-consuming and impractical.
Latest update:

- Key question remains open: Is there an easier, automated way (via Shopify features or apps) to randomly split a large subscriber list into two segments for email A/B testing?
