Quick Answer
How do you test a payment in a BizStackPro funnel or website?
Open the funnel or website under Sites, go to Settings, turn Test Mode on, and save. Then submit the Order Form using test card details and verify the confirmation page, receipts, notifications, workflows, tags, and any access delivery tied to the purchase.
Making Sure Your Checkout Works Before Real Customers Use It
Test Mode lets you simulate purchases before a funnel or website begins accepting real customer payments.
Testing allows you to check more than the transaction itself. You can also confirm that receipts, notifications, tags, workflows, access delivery, and post-purchase steps behave as expected.
Problems with any of those areas are easier to fix before the checkout is used by real buyers.
Use Test Card Details Only
Do not use real credit card information while Test Mode is enabled. Use test card details when validating the purchase flow.
