▶️ Run a test order

1. Set Up Test Mode

You have two options to prevent real charges when testing orders:

Option A: Set the Entire Store to Test Mode

• Go to the Store Record in Salesforce.

• Open the Modes tab.

• Ensure that the store is toggled to Test Mode.

Option B: Assign Test Email Addresses

• In the Store Record, go to the Key Relationships tab.

• Create a new Store Variable:

  • Name: (any label you like)

  • Key: test_checkout_emails

  • Value: Up to 4 email addresses, separated by commas (e.g., test1@example.com,test2@example.com)

• Click Save.

Orders placed using these emails will be treated as test orders, even if the store is in live mode.

2. Run the Test Order on the Website

• Navigate to your StoreConnect storefront.

• Add a few different types of products to your cart:

  • A variant product (e.g., 3 × Steve Plushy in Orange).

  • A standard product (e.g., 1 × Steve’s Mystery Box).

  • A subscription product (e.g., Steve’s Travel Fund).

3. Apply Promo Codes (Optional)

• In the cart view, apply any valid promotion codes (e.g., $5 off per Steve Plushy).

• Confirm the discount is reflected in the Order Summary.

4. Proceed to Checkout

• Fill in Shipping and Billing information

• Click Continue.

• Choose a Payment Method

• Complete the purchase by clicking Submit/Complete Purchase.

5. Verify the Test Order in Salesforce

• Copy the Order Reference Number shown after purchase.

• In Salesforce:

  • Search for the Order using that reference number.

  • Open the Order Record.

Review the following tabs and sections:

• Order Details: Billing, shipping, and checkout info.

• Key Relationships:

  • Products purchased

  • Promotions applied

• Payments: View payment records tied to the order.

• Subscriptions: If applicable, confirm the subscription record, next billing date, and recurring amount.
