I have developed a mobile application for my Shopify store and would like to thoroughly test the complete order flow before releasing it to customers.
Specifically, I want to verify the following:
-
The checkout process works correctly.
-
Payments are processed successfully.
-
The placed order contains the correct products and selected variants.
-
The order appears correctly in the order history.
-
All order-related data is fetched and displayed properly in the app.
However, I do not want to place real orders during testing because doing so would incur transaction commissions and also affect the store’s actual order data.
What would be the recommended approach to test the full order flow in this situation?
Is there a way to simulate or test orders in Shopify without creating real transactions or affecting live store data?
Any guidance or best practices for testing this workflow would be greatly appreciated.
