Place a test order

1. In the Go live stage, open the final checks.
2. On the row A test order reached your Shopify, press Place a test order.
3. Wait a few seconds. Sling creates a test checkout, simulates the payment and sends the order to Shopify.

The test uses your most expensive product with test details already filled in. Nothing opens and nothing is charged. The order posts into your Shopify under the customer name Test Order. The row then ticks itself.

If it does not work

• Sync a product first: the test needs one product. Set a product to Active in Shopify, then press Sync products.
• No shipping rate for the test: none of your shipping rates covers the country shown. Add a rate for it, then try again.
• A few too many tests: wait a few minutes, then try again.
• The test order was held: Sling held it for review instead of sending it to Shopify. The message gives the reason.
• We could not confirm the test order: Shopify did not answer in time, so it may have the order anyway. Look for a Test Order in your Shopify orders before you try again.

You can tick this row yourself and finish setup. Your first real order then proves the same thing, and that one does take real money.
