When you have configured the pickup, delivery and/or shipping settings within Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery, we recommend creating a test order.

Follow the Shopify test order article on how to enable test payment methods if your store is not live.

If your store is live, you can:

  • Create an order with one of your existing products, and then cancel and refund it

  • Create a free test product, and after testing set the status to draft to remove the product from your live site

  • Create a Shopify discount code (100%) for either the order value, or the shipping/delivery rate to avoid making any payments


Create a test order

  1. Preview the theme where you've installed the Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery widget. For more information, take a look at our Online store 2.0 article.

  2. Add a product to the cart, and go to the cart page.

  3. In the Zapiet - Pickup + Delivery widget, select one of the checkout methods (pickup/delivery/shipping), and add the details. Check if the rules you've set up in the settings are showing up correctly in the calendar.

  4. Click Check out.

Further steps will slightly differ depending on the checkout version that you're using. Learn more in Shopify One-page checkout article.


One-page checkout

    The wording should be changing depending on the checkout method you have selected—you can read more in our Language locales article.
