How can I test checkout without making a payment?

Ive spent a lot of time recently adding new customised products to my store, which I have passworded while the work is going on . I want to see what information I get from a customised sale before I go live again. Is there a way of simulating this without leaving card or bank details in checkout ?

Thanks

Hi @celticmakers
I think this manual can help you: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/payments/shopify-payments/testing-shopify-payments

Hi @celticmakers ,

If you’re using Shopify Payments, then you can create test orders by enabling Shopify Payments test mode. To learn more, see Testing Shopify Payments.

Otherwise, you can set up Shopify’s Bogus Gateway, which is used to create test orders. For more detail, please refer to this guide.

I hope it helps.

Hi there, @celticmakers !

Welcome to the Community! Definitely a great place to gather some input regarding anything about the platform!

As you can see @Michael_Pink and @Michael_Pink provided you some great documents with regards to testing out your payment gateway on the platform. The links they provided will cover the following information:

By placing a test order, you can make sure that your checkout process and settings for order processing, inventory, shipping, email notifications, and taxes are all correct. You aren’t charged for a test order as well.

Definitely let us know how these work out for you or if you need any further help regarding this matter.

I tried a test order using the shopify payments test mode and card details and it kept saying

Your payment details couldn’t be verified. Check your card details and try again.

So I finally just gave up. Hopefully everything works as I have no way of knowing until someone places an order.
