Placing a Test Order in Shopify

You may ensure that your checkout procedure and settings for order processing, inventory, shipping, email alerts, and taxes are right by placing a test purchase.

A test order is free of charge. During the setup of your shop, or if you make changes to your payment settings, you should place at least one test order.

You may place a test order by simulating a transaction with Shopify's Bogus Gateway, or you can test your settings using Shopify Payments test mode if you're utilizing Shopify Payments.

You can even use a legitimate payment source and then cancel and return the transaction right away. You might be charged fees by the payment processor you select.

Simulate a Transaction to Place a Test Order.

You may use Shopify's Bogus Gateway to simulate a transaction at your online checkout. Bogus Gateway is a payment source that may be used to produce test orders by any store. Every order you create while Bogus Gateway is set up is a test order.

You must provide test payment information at checkout to place an order. Depending on the data you input, you may simulate various sorts of transactions.
