You can test pre-orders using the following methods:
1. Using Shopify Payments Test Mode (Recommended)
If you're using Shopify Payments, follow these steps to test a pre-order:
- Enable Shopify Payments Test Mode in your Shopify admin.
- Go to your store as a customer would and place a pre-order.
- Use Shopify's test credit card numbers at checkout.
- Confirm that the pre-order processes correctly without any payment issues.
2. Placing a Test Pre-Order with a Real Transaction
If you want to test with a real payment, follow these steps:
- Ensure your payment provider is set up for real transactions.
- Go to your store and complete a pre-order purchase using a real credit card.
- Log in to your payment provider account to check if the payment was processed.
- Cancel and refund the test pre-order immediately to recover your funds.
Note: Third-party transaction fees may not be refunded by your payment provider.
Testing Your Shipping Settings for Pre-Orders
- If you offer free shipping for pre-orders, place a test order that qualifies and check if the discount applies.
- Verify that correct shipping methods are displayed at checkout for pre-orders.
