What's the best way to test different call-to-action buttons?

I'm struggling to optimize my e-commerce store's conversion rates and want to improve my call-to-action (CTA) buttons. I've heard about A/B testing but I'm unsure how to systematically approach testing different button designs, colors, and copy. What are the most effective strategies for conducting CTA button tests that can actually drive meaningful improvements in click-through and conversion rates? I need a comprehensive approach that minimizes guesswork and maximizes data-driven insights.
