Test order: checking your store before launch

The cheapest way to find critical errors is to walk the buyer's path yourself, with a real payment. One hour of checking saves you from weeks of silent losses.

Five stages of the check

1

Finding a product

Act as an ordinary visitor, without the admin panel: use the menu, the filters and the site search. Search by name, SKU and brand.

2

Product page and cart

Price, availability, choice of variant. Change the quantity, remove a product, go back to the catalog – the cart should keep its contents.

3

Checkout

Without registration, with a choice of pickup branch and a delivery cost calculation. Enter invalid data – check whether the error message is clear.

4

Payment and confirmation

A real payment for the minimum amount: does it bring you back to the site, is there a thank-you page, did the e-mails reach you and the buyer.

Must-check

What to check separately

From a phone. This is where things break most often: forms, buttons, branch selection, the payment page.

Conversion in analytics. The most often skipped item: the store works, orders come in, and the statistics show zeros.

The order in the admin panel. Was it created, is the data correct, are the delivery and payment methods visible.

After the test

Don't forget

Cancel the order and refund the payment. Otherwise it will end up in the statistics and distort your first conversion data.
