Before launching a paid membership site, learn how to test every aspect of your site to make sure everything works properly and you are providing the best possible user experience for existing and prospective members.
- [Voiceover] One of the most important steps…in setting up a paid membership site is testing.…Before you take the site live,…you must ensure registration, payments,…and access works as intended across all levels.…This means actually signing up a group…of test users and putting your site…through its paces to make sure everything…is working as it should.…If you're using Stripe as your payment gateway,…you can do extensive testing…not only to make sure everything works correctly,…but also to learn how the gateway itself works.…On the Stripe testing page, you have a long list…of available credit card numbers…to use with your test account…to provide insights into how different types…of cards are handled and what happens…when something goes wrong during the purchase process.…
I recommend trying out several of these numbers…to get a feel for the payment gateway…and how it works before your site goes live.…In particular, I would test out some of these numbers…down here that trigger different types…of error messages inside Stripe…
