A store owner on Shopify Advanced wants to add PayPal and Apple Pay to a live storefront and run a few test orders first. They have not yet enabled either payment option.
They cannot use Shopify Payments’ “test mode” because it would affect all live checkout transactions on the production site. The goal is to validate these new payment methods without disrupting real customer orders.
They are seeking recommendations or best practices for testing PayPal and Apple Pay on a production Shopify store safely. No solutions, actions, or outcomes have been provided yet, and the request remains open.
I have a current live store on Shopify Advanced that does not yet have PayPal or ApplePay set up as payment options.
I would like to integrate these options and submit a few test orders.
I cannot use the “test mode” via Shopify payments because it will apply to all orders coming through checkout on my live site.
Is there any recommendation on how to test new Payment options with a Shopify store that is already on production?
