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. - **Additional Relationships**: Check promotion linkages. - **Activities**: Confirm automated emails (e.g., thank-you email). - **Order History**: Shows a full event log for that order. --- ## Follow StoreConnect - [Email Newsletter](https://getstoreconnect.com/c/lp-newsletter) - [LinkedIn Newsletter](https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7444956928444862464) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngKdP2x8l1wcbAKW3tvU8g) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/storeconnect) - [X / Twitter](https://x.com/storeconnecthq) ## Popular Links - [Partners](https://getstoreconnect.com/partners) - [News](https://getstoreconnect.com/articles/news) - [Events](https://getstoreconnect.com/articles/events) - [Feature Comparison](https://getstoreconnect.com/how-we-compare) - [Download a free trial](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMkeKUAT) - [Book a Demo](https://getstoreconnect.com/contact) ## Documentation - [Help documentation](https://support.storeconnect.com/help-documentation) - [AI agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/ai) - [Videos & tutorials](https://support.storeconnect.com/videos-tutorials) - [Developer reference](https://support.storeconnect.com/developer-reference) - [Release notes](https://support.storeconnect.com/release-notes) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.storeconnect.com/troubleshooting) - [Trust Center](https://trust.getstoreconnect.com/) - [Status Page](https://status.storeconnect.com/) ## Contact - info@getstoreconnect.com - US +1 415 745 3230 - AUS +61 2 8365 2308 100 S Ashley Dr, Suite 600-2461 Tampa FL 33602-600 USA Level 22, Sydney Place 180 George Street Sydney, NSW, 2000, AUS --- StoreConnect Support — https://support.storeconnect.com/articles/how-to-run-a-test-order
