How Do I Do a Test Order in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:08 pm

If you want to test your WooCommerce installation and make sure everything is working properly, you can do a test order. This is a good way to make sure that your payment gateway is working, your shipping calculations are correct, and that you can process an order end-to-end.

To do a test order, you’ll need to set your WooCommerce store to test mode. This can be done in the WooCommerce settings, under the checkout tab. Once you’ve done this, you can add items to your cart and go through the checkout process as normal.

When you get to the payment step, you’ll need to select the test payment gateway.

For PayPal, this is called the Sandbox mode. Once you’ve entered your payment details, you can complete the order.

You’ll know that the order went through if you see a message that says “Order received” on the screen. You can also check in your WooCommerce orders list to make sure the order is there. If everything looks good, congratulations! Your WooCommerce store is set up and working properly.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with WooCommerce, we recommend that you do not attempt to do a test order. Test orders can be complex and may result in errors if not done correctly.

Conclusion:

To do a test order in WooCommerce, simply put your store into test mode and then use the test payment gateway when checking out. This will ensure that everything from start to finish is working properly.
