Behavior, not opinion

Real shoppers. AI scale.

We record every gaze, hesitation, and pick as real shoppers move through the virtual store. AI shoppers built from behavioral profiles then scale those observations to hundreds of sessions, giving you statistical confidence that surveys cannot match.

"In a typical study, shoppers gravitate to eye-level and reach-level shelves: the bottom shelf is the last place their attention goes, regardless of price."

That's the kind of insight legacy tools simply cannot give you.

Behavior, not opinion.

Surveys capture what people say. TestCart captures what they do: where their eyes go, what they reach for, what they put back. Webcam eye tracking and interaction data, on a normal computer, no headset required.

Days, not weeks.

No store bookings, no panel logistics, no printed prototypes. Launch a study in the browser and get decision-ready results in days. Add AI shoppers built from behavioral profiles to reach hundreds of sessions at near-zero marginal cost.

Defensible decisions.

Attention share, pick-up rate, and purchase intent per SKU, with A/B significance. Walk into a retailer negotiation or an NPD gate with data, not a hunch.

What you can answer

The questions a mock store or a survey cannot answer with confidence.

Will my redesign get noticed?

See where real shoppers look first, and whether your new pack wins attention against the competitors already on the shelf.

Which price wins?

Test price points on a real shelf and watch demand shift. Find the price that balances margin and volume before you go to market.

Who loses shelf space when I win?

Track where every choice comes from. Know which competitor your new product steals share from, and at what cost.

Stop launching in the dark.

See how your next product performs on the shelf before you build it.
