How to Test Your Stripe Integration

Before going live, it’s essential to test your Stripe integration to ensure it works smoothly:

1. Create a cheap product: Like $2 worth just to test the checkout flow.
2. Place a Test Order: Go to your online store, add the product to the cart, and proceed to checkout. Use a real credit card to test.
3. Confirm Transactions: Verify that the test payment appears in your Stripe dashboard.
4. Note on Payout: Note that the first payout from stripe is typically available 7 days after you add your bank account and accept your first payment through your account. But if you can see the transactions reflect on your stripe dashboard, you're good to go!
