Today’s UX problem we want to fix:
  • The selector is a generic native <select> with three labels that read like SKU codes — “Cover Stock Standard 12pt”, “Extra Thick Cover Stock 17 pt”, “Pearlescent Cover Stock 14 pt”.
  • No explanation of what 12pt vs 14pt vs 17pt actually feels like, who each option is for, or whether the upgrade costs anything. The only way to learn is to navigate away to /t/33/paper-options-and-finishes.
  • Default is the cheapest option (12pt). FP-32 (currently running) shows that removing this dropdown entirely lifts conversion — suggesting decision-fatigue, not desire to upgrade, is the bottleneck. We don’t want to remove the option (revenue from premium paper matters), we want to make the upgrade obviously valuable.
Source — live PDP DOM: <select id="product_attribute_g238_21" data-attr-name="Paper Weight"> with three <option> children. Verified at funeralprints.com/p/101 on 2026-05-12.
V1 — replace the <select> with three inline radio pills. Same option names as today, no descriptive copy. Lightest-touch redesign.

What changes:
  • The <select> is hidden but kept in the DOM (form-submission unchanged). Three radio pills are injected via PostHog web experiment in its place.
  • Option labels are condensed to thickness-first wording (“Standard 12pt”) — lighter than the current SKU-style names, but no new claims.
  • All three options visible simultaneously — no hidden options behind a dropdown chevron.
  • Order swapped to Standard / Pearlescent / Extra-Thick so the visual progression on the page reads thin → pearlescent → thick.
Copy provenance: "Standard", "Pearlescent", "Extra Thick", "Cover Stock", and the digits "12pt / 14pt / 17pt" all appear in the verbatim option names in the live <select> and in the public-facing Paper Types & Finishes Guide. No new words introduced.
V2 — three stacked radio cards. Each card shows the option name and the description Funeral Prints already publishes on its Paper Types & Finishes Guide. Most informative.

Fishing Pole Memorial Card

Quick to design · Overnight shipping available
Qty: 50
From $59.95 for 50 cards
What changes:
  • Three vertically-stacked radio cards. Each card carries the published Funeral Prints description verbatim — no rewriting, no embellishment.
  • "Most popular" tag is placed on Pearlescent 14pt and that card is pre-selected. This anchors the user on the middle / upgrade option rather than the cheapest one — a deliberate AOV play, consistent with what the running FP-32 test is hinting at (decision-fatigue, not upgrade reluctance, is the bottleneck).
  • "Heirloom weight" tag on 17pt uses phrasing already on the Paper Types guide page (“heirloom-quality finish”, “heirloom-level finish”).
  • Decision-fatigue antidote: every option becomes self-explanatory at the moment of choice, without leaving the PDP.
Every word grounded: all three description sentences are pulled verbatim from funeralprints.com/t/33/paper-options-and-finishes (verified 2026-05-12). The names "Standard 12pt Cover Stock", "Pearlescent 14pt Cover Stock", "Extra-Thick 17pt Cover Stock" match the headings in that guide.
Open with JC before launch: the "Most popular" tag on 14pt Pearlescent is a soft claim that needs paper-weight mix data from nopCommerce to be defensible. If 14pt isn’t the actual leader, either move the tag to the true leader or drop it entirely — do not invent. Also note: changing the pre-selected option from 12pt → 14pt will raise AOV mechanically (the upgrade is more expensive), which is the design intent but also adds noise to the conversion-rate result — report both metrics.
V3 — same radio cards as V2, plus a visual paper-swatch on each card that conveys relative thickness and finish at a glance. Highest information density.

From $59.95 for 50 cards
What changes:
  • Same content as V2, with descriptions shortened so each card stays roughly one line tall (still verbatim phrases lifted from the Paper Types guide).
  • A small visual swatch on the left of each card conveys relative thickness (12pt → 14pt → 17pt grow from 32px to 44px tall) and surface (pearlescent uses a soft gradient to suggest shimmer).
  • The swatch becomes the “at a glance” differentiator — a user scrolling past the section can see the upgrade path without reading.
Source for visual treatment: shading and relative sizing only — no photographic paper imagery. Pearlescent gradient is a stylized cue, not a claim. All wording (“Standard”, “Pearlescent”, “Extra-Thick”, “Most popular”, “Premium feel”, “Heirloom weight”) traceable to /t/33/paper-options-and-finishes.
Same open question as V2: “Most popular” tag on 14pt Pearlescent should be confirmed against nopCommerce paper-mix data with JC before launch. If 14pt isn’t the leader, move or drop the tag — do not invent.

Hypothesis

By replacing the Paper Weight dropdown with a radio-button selector that explains what each thickness feels like, paper-thickness selection will become an in-context decision instead of a decision-fatigue tax — lifting overall conversion (matching the direction of the currently-running FP-32 “remove dropdown” test) while preserving the option to upgrade and lifting the share of customers who choose 14pt Pearlescent or 17pt Extra-Thick (higher AOV).

Three variants test increasing levels of explanation: V1 = format change only (pills, no description), V2 = pills + verbatim descriptions from the Paper Types guide, V3 = pills + descriptions + visual paper swatch. Every word and number on every variant is grounded in copy already published on funeralprints.com.

Primary metric: purchase rate (sessions exposed to the variant that complete checkout). Sales is always primary — CLAUDE.md hard rule.
Secondary metrics: revenue per session, paper-weight mix at order (% choosing 14pt Pearlescent or 17pt Extra-Thick), AOV, PDP → designer-start rate (clicks on Click to design)
Guardrails: bounce rate on PDP must not increase, designer start → cart rate must not drop, time-on-PDP must not balloon (no analysis paralysis)
Sample size: ~36k sessions/month sitewide, PDP sessions ~60% of that ≈ 21k/month. PostHog ships only the V2 cell (control vs variant, 50/50) ≈ 10.5k sessions/cell/month. Purchase rate is a smaller-effect metric than designer-start, so plan for **6–10 weeks** to detect a meaningful lift at 95% confidence. Confirm the actual MDE once baseline purchase rate is set up in PostHog.
Audience: URL matches /p/*, desktop + mobile, all geos. The <select> with data-attr-name="Paper Weight" must exist on the page (skips products without paper-weight options).
Selector for injection: hide .attribute.name_Paper_Weight, inject variant UI after it, and on change set document.getElementById('product_attribute_g238_21').value = <optionValue> followed by a change event so nopCommerce’s attribute-change handler fires.
