Place a test order
Test the complete order flow before going live: product, customer, payment.
Why test before launching
Before sharing your payment link with real customers, verify everything works: the product shows the correct price, the confirmation email is sent, and the invoice is generated.
Create a test order
Two options:
Option 1: via the Getting Started wizard
In the "Getting Started" section, click "Test order". The wizard automatically creates an order with your demo customer.
Option 2: manually
Go to Orders → New order. Select a customer, a product, and confirm. The payment will be simulated (no real charge until you’re in live mode).
Verify the result
After the test order, verify:
- The order appears in Orders with the correct status
- The payment appears in Payments
- The customer received a confirmation email (check spam)
- The invoice is generated and accessible from the order
FAQ
Does the test order charge real money?
No. Until you connect Stripe and activate live mode, no real payment is processed.
