Buy your own product the way a shopper would, then find the order in your dashboard, to prove your products, payments and shipping all work together.
Before you start
Finish Add your first product, Connect a payment gateway and Set up shipping. You will need a customer account on the storefront to check out, the same way a shopper would sign up.
A new product starts with no stock, so the size you plan to buy needs stock first. On the product page, open the row's ⋯ menu in Variants and choose Receive stock, then enter a Quantity received.
