Test and go live
Test with the module in test mode, confirm each method you intend to offer, then switch to live. Because mode exists both store-wide and per method, going live is two changes rather than one.
Test your setup
- Set the module to No, I'm testing under Settings.
- Set the methods you want to try to Test.
- Place an order in your own shop and pay with each method in turn.
- Confirm the order reaches the status you expect afterwards.
- Try a refund on a test order, with automatic refunds via Buckaroo switched on.
For the test details each method accepts, see Testing.
Test a method you plan to offer, rather than only the easiest one. Methods behave differently: some redirect away, cards stay in your checkout, and Bank Transfer leaves the order awaiting payment on purpose.
What to check while testing
- The method appears at checkout, for the countries you expect and within the order amounts you set.
- The payment method name reads the way you want, in the languages your store sells in.
- Any payment fee appears at checkout and on the invoice, with the label you set.
- The order status changes after payment, and after a cancellation.
- The transaction description in Plaza contains the order number.
- Refunds reach Buckaroo and the order updates.
- Credentials verified with Test Connection.
- Module set to Yes, I'm ready to receive payments.
- Every method you intend to offer set to Live, not left in test.
- Every method you do not intend to offer set to Off.
- Refund settings match how you want refunds handled, including automatic refunds via Buckaroo.
- Payment method order checked for the countries you sell to.
- One small real payment placed and refunded, end to end.
Switching the module to live does not switch the methods. A method left in test will not take real money, and the failure is quiet: the method still appears and the payment still seems to work. Check each one.
