How do I test an order?

Use Place Test Order on Orders → Manage Orders — it opens your storefront in test mode. Test orders don't count toward your plan's order limit and don't send customer emails or alerts. Tick Show test orders to see them, open one to check the details and change its status, and use Purge test orders to delete them (a store can keep up to 10 at once). An order placed normally counts as a real order even if you cancel it.
