# Versions

> Complete checkout configurations that let you test, deploy, and manage different checkout experiences safely

> Why does every checkout look the same? \
> Why is buying groceries so similar to shopping for a t-shirt? \
> Should a single-item purchase follow the same flow as a five-product cart?

What if showing cashback earlier — say, on the cart page — actually boosts conversion? It’s time to break free from one-size-fits-all checkouts.

With Versions, you can create, test, and launch different checkout experiences — without touching your live store until you’re ready.

## How to create a new Version

Versions are complete, independent checkout configurations. Since you can assign a template to a version, you can make versions completely different from one another.

<Info>
  **Pro Tip**: You can change versions using a query string paramenter `?version_id={version_id}`\
  \
  This will only work in "development", meaning that you can only change versions via a query string \
  when using:\
  \
  The Ollie Shop URL - [checkout.ollie.shop](http://checkout.ollie.shop)\
  VTEX internal URL - [yourstore.myvtex.com](http://yourstore.myvtex.com)

  \
  The version\_id is also stored as a cookie `ollieshop_store_version_id`
