How Do I Test WooCommerce Purchases?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:31 pm

If you have a WooCommerce website, then you need to be able to test purchases to make sure that everything is working properly. There are a few different ways to do this, and the method that you choose will depend on what you are trying to test.

If you are just testing to see if the purchase process works, then you can create a test product and add it to your cart. Then go through the checkout process and make sure that you can complete the purchase successfully.

If you want to test a specific feature of WooCommerce, then you can use the built-in WooCommerce testing tool. This tool lets you test specific features, such as coupons, taxes, shipping, and more.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to test WooCommerce purchases, please be aware that there are a few things you need to take into account.

Firstly, please remember to create a backup of your site before beginning any tests. Secondly, when creating test products, please make sure that they are set to “Do not track stock” in the product settings. Otherwise, your inventory levels may be inaccurate.

Finally, when testing payments, please be aware that real charges will be made if you are using a live payment gateway. To avoid this, you can use the WooCommerce Test Mode setting. This will allow you to test payments without actually making any charges.

You can also use a plugin to help with testing. There are a few different plugins that you can use, but we recommend using the WooCommerce Checkout Manager plugin.

This plugin lets you manage all aspects of the checkout process, including adding custom fields and changing the order of fields.

Once you have installed the plugin, you can go to WooCommerce > Checkout to configure it. Then you can add any custom fields that you want to test and change the order of the fields.

Once you have done this, you can test the checkout process by adding a product to your cart and going through the checkout process.
