Changes to order and payment testing on newly created development stores

Platform

Beginning today, partners who want to test orders in development stores can only process payments using the following methods:

  • Shopify's test payment provider (Bogus Gateway).
  • A payment provider set to test mode.

If you need to test your development store using real transactions, then you need to transfer your store to a paid plan.

Orders and payments in existing development stores will not change immediately. Updates to existing development stores will be announced in the developer changelog.

Learn more about test orders on the Shopify Help Center.

If you have further questions about testing payments and orders in newly created development stores, get answers in our dedicated discussion area for developers, or reach out to partner support through your Partner Dashboard.
