Once Bold Checkout is completely set up on your store, it's recommended placing a test order to ensure everything is set up properly.
Test orders can be placed once development mode is enabled.
It's important to note that placing a test order while Bold Checkout is live will process real funds. Placing a test order while development mode is enabled will allow you to test as many orders as you like, without worrying about being charged.
Enable Development Mode
- Select Open under Bold Checkout from your Bold Account.
- Select Open under Bold Checkout.
- Select Payment Options, then Payment Gateways.
- Select the toggle to enable Development Mode.
Note: This will have to be turned off again when you would like Checkout to go live again on your store.
- Once development mode has been enabled, you can proceed with placing a test order.
Place a Test Order
It is recommended completing these steps while in development mode, as instructed above.
This ensures that you can connect to our test payment gateway and that the order will not charge real funds.
When creating test orders, it is best to try different scenarios to ensure everything is set up properly. Example elements to test are as follows:
- Gift cards
- Discount codes
- Credit cards
- Being logged in or out
