Hi everyone!

Below is a video that will guide you on how to place a test order on your site to make sure everything is set up and ready to go!

This means ensuring your checkout process is ready to go so you can start making sales

Placing a test order:

By placing a test order, you can make sure that your checkout process and settings for order processing, inventory, shipping, email notifications, and taxes are all correct.

You aren't charged for a test order. You should place at least one test order during your store setup, or whenever you make changes to your payment settings.

You can place a test order by simulating a transaction through Shopify's Bogus Gateway, or if you're using Shopify Payments, then you can test your configuration by using Shopify Payments test mode.

You can also use a real payment provider, and then immediately cancel and refund the order. You might be subject to fees from the payment processor that you use.
