Place a test order

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.

Steps

  1. Open your product on the storefront. Pick a size, then click Add To Cart. You will see the message "Item added to your bag", and the cart icon shows a count.

  2. Open the cart. On the Shop Cart page, check the Cart Total box, then click Place Order.

  4. You will land on the Order Confirmed page: "Your Order Is Completed!", with your Order ID and buttons to View Order or Continue Shopping.
