Testing manual payment methods

[janis_janovskis]

I wonder; Is there a way - process to test a manual payment method.

We are working on some post-checkout business flows, and we need to test how they work in conjunction with manual payment methods.

Can we do such tests on a development store?

Hi, @janis_janovskis!

Julie here from Shopify Support.

While there are some limitations with development stores, I checked in with our Partners team to see if processing manual payments through test orders is one of them. 

They've confirmed that in order to process a test order on a development store, you must use one of the following methods: 

• Use Shopify's Bogus Gateway to simulate a transaction

• Enable test mode for your payment provider:

  • Shopify Payments
  • A third-party payment provider

That being said, they did suggest that you contact Partner Support directly so they can review your use-case and advise on next steps and any possible workarounds. You can contact Partner Support directly through your Partner Dashboard, as well as through the Shopify Help Center. 

I hope this helps!
