Testing Shopify Payments

To test your Shopify Payments setup, activate the test mode and use test credit cards to simulate payments.

You can test Shopify Payments only if you've chosen a paid plan.

Test mode isn't supported for merchants in France. Instead, merchants in France can place a test order by using theShopify Bogus Gateway.

Test mode

Test mode is a feature of Shopify Payments. You can use it to test how your customers pay for their orders, and to test how you and your staff process those orders. While test mode is activated, you can't use real credit cards to pay for orders. Some local payment methods, such as Sofort and iDEAL, aren't available in the checkout when test mode is activated. For these reasons, you shouldn't activate test mode on a store that's in production.

The test mode feature isn't available to test Shop Pay or Shop Pay Installments.

After you are finished testing Shopify Payments, deactivate test mode so that your customers can pay for their orders using their real credit cards.

If you're not using Shopify Payments and you want to test the checkout process, then you canplace a test order by using the Shopify Bogus Gateway.
