Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 11:38 pm

When you are setting up a new WooCommerce store, one of the first things you need to do is create a test purchase. This will help you to check that your store is set up correctly and that everything is working as it should.

To create a test purchase in WooCommerce, you will need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Add some products to your store. You can do this by going to the Products page and clicking on the Add New button. Add a few products so that you have something to test with.

Step 2: Go to the Checkout page. You can find this by going to your store’s URL and adding /checkout/ to the end. For example, if your store’s URL is example.com, then the Checkout page would be at example.com/checkout/.

Step 3: Fill out the form on the Checkout page. Enter your name, address, and payment information. Be sure to use real information so that you can test the entire purchase process.

Step 4: Click on the Place Order button. This will take you to the Order Confirmation page, which means that your purchase was successful.

Conclusion

By following the steps above, you can easily create a test purchase in WooCommerce. This is a great way to check that your store is set up correctly and that everything is working as it should.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, creating a test purchase in WooCommerce can result in real charges to your credit card. Be sure to use a test credit card number and turn off automatic payments before proceeding.
