Placing a test order

- [Instructor] I've talked about test orders…a number of times in this course.…And test orders are very simply,…orders that you as a store owner might place,…just testing the system to make sure everything…is working as you expect it to work.…And so I wanna show you now how you go about…placing a test order.…So first of all, the very most important thing…you need to have set in order to place a test order,…is to make sure that your site is in test mode.…So in order to do that, we're going to go to Settings,…we're gonna scroll down to the Cover section…and go to Payments, and take a look…to make sure that test mode is set to on.…

That is extremely important because it means…that no quote, real credit card numbers…can be charged in the process of working with the website.…We are actually gonna use fake credit card numbers.…And that is a legitimate thing.…If you go to the Stripe website at stripe.com…and take a look, they have a whole series…of these test card numbers…that you can use to test your store.…This of course is Stripe, not Paypal.…
