Why does a development store get charged fees for test orders?

Hi Shopify!

I have a development storefront and submitted a test order using Shopify markets.

Shopify proceeded to send me a bill for duties and Shopify markets fees.

On a development storefront with a customer-accounts preview I shouldn’t need to pay $45 AUD to keep my development store open. This might be affecting a lot of developers who want to build a new API feature but don’t want to pay $ for submitting bogus payment gateway transactions.

Hi Keiraarts,

You for sure should not be incurring any fees for testing transactions using the bogus gateway. I’m sure this is a bug on our side - have connected with our internal teams to get this straightened out.
