How We Test
Evidence before recommendations.
We want to show where every comparison claim comes from, where limits exist, and what is safe to use for your country and shop type.
01 / The basis for a comparison
Start with shop outcomes
Comparisons start with the shop owner outcome first, then software fit, then features.
Use evidence, not claims
Vendor claims are labelled by source. A ShopsInto observation is clearly marked when we check a workflow ourselves.
Separate research and testing
Official vendor research can support comparison context, but a product only becomes “tested” after we record when and where we used it.
02 / Checks that keep context clear
Explain country limits clearly
Payments, hardware, support, and tax or pricing fit are checked per country. A feature in one market may not be usable in another.
Recheck what changes quickly
Pricing plans, promotions, supported cards, and availability are re-checked with dates because these change often.
03 / Independence and recommendations
Keep paid links visible and separate
Commercial links are marked clearly. Commission status never changes how products are compared or recommended.
No final rankings without evidence
We only label something “best” after criteria are complete, tested, and documented for the target market.
