Our goal is to let shoppers experience your products firsthand while also ensuring a trustworthy shopping environment. Our checkout process involves validating a customer's credit card before an order is finalized. This ensures that if a customer decides to purchase the product after trying it, the transaction is effortless and smooth for both parties.

After a customer places an order, the order is promptly created in Shopify. Our app then initiates an automated flow attempting to authorize using the card details provided by the customer. There are instances when an order gets created, but the shopper's card is declined shortly after. These events are visible in the Shopify Timeline, with the Message section typically displaying the reason for the failed authorization, such as insufficient funds on the card.

If we're unable to obtain a valid authorization for reasons like insufficient funds or potential fraud indicators, the order will be cancelled. As a result, the shopper receives an automated email from TryNow letting them know that the order was canceled due to failed payment and to attempt to place another order using a different card. This consistent treatment applies whether the order has only TryNow items or is a mixed-cart containing both buy and try items.

By maintaining this process, we ensure transparency and consistency for the shopper, while also safeguarding your team from shipping orders that may not be successfully finalized.

For standard "Buy Now" orders, shoppers experience a complete charge on their card at checkout. If there's any problem, like a declined card due to insufficient funds, they won't be able to proceed further with the order.

On the other hand, with Try Before You Buy orders, Shopify does not perform the same checks during checkout. For example, Shopify does not check for sufficient funds during checkout.
