To your par­tic­i­pants Gorilla Shop Builder looks like a normal online shop, but behind the scenes you wield a pow­er­ful research tool to lib­er­ate your lab.
 
  • Test con­sumer deci­sion making hypothe­ses in a real­is­tic online shop simulation.
  • Easy-to-use graph­i­cal inter­face — no coding necessary.
  • Pow­er­ful enough for a wide range of aca­d­e­m­ic and com­mer­cial research.

“The Shop Builder looks more pro­fes­sion­al and real­is­tic, so it increas­es the gen­er­al­iz­abil­i­ty of our results. It’s also easy to use. To be honest, it’s a godsend!”

Designed for Behav­iour­al Research

Our Shop Builder tool is designed for behav­iour­al research. So you have all the manip­u­la­tions you need to test your hypotheses.

Upload your own product set. Apply taxes and sub­si­dies. Changes label and apply nudges. And many more features!

All with no coding required to you get to focus on the science, instead of getting bogged down in programming.

If you are a com­mer­cial researcher, our special offers and done-for-you ser­vices may be of interest.

“Shop Builder allows us to recre­ate the sort of plat­forms that the larger retail­ers have and it gives us an oppor­tu­ni­ty to do things that, unless you have very large budgets, you just would never be able to achieve.”

Further Resources

His­tor­i­cal­ly, it’s been dif­fi­cult for researchers to give stu­dents rel­e­vant prac­ti­cal expe­ri­ence inves­ti­gat­ing con­sumer deci­sion making. By having stu­dents apply their skills to a real world problem, Shop Builder helps stu­dents make the leap from evi­dence to enquiry.  And gives them a valu­able case study and skills to make them stand out to future employers.
