Most of the time, integrations go off without a hitch. To be 100% confident you’re tracking and crediting affiliates properly, let’s run a test order.
Follow the steps below or watch a short demo video:
1. Open your Refersion Dashboard.
2. Click Perform Test Order and select any affiliate (preferably a test affiliate) from the drop-down list.
3. Click Get Test Link.
4. Right-click on Go To Link and Select Open Link in Incognito Window (with tracking/cookie blocking settings turned OFF).
5. Place an actual order from your shop. You can create a 95% off discount for this order in your store, if you like. The order can be cancelled and refunded after testing is done.
For WooCommerce merchants: Once you complete your test order, you may also need to mark it “Completed” within WooCommerce, otherwise it won’t record in Refersion. This requirement is based on your Refersion plugin settings in your store.

After about 10 minutes, you should be able to go to the Manage>Conversions tab and see that your test order resulted in a conversion! You’re now ready to launch your affiliate marketing program, and land many, many more conversions. You can also go ahead and deny the test order so that commission is not owed.
Note: It may take up to 10 minutes for the conversion to show up. If it’s been an hour or more, chat with us in-app, or shoot us an email at helpme@refersion.com, and we’ll be happy to help!
