Spiffy doesn’t allow for the use of test cards, and Stripe only allows test cards in developer environments, so testing your Checkouts and Flows will require using a live order.
The best way to test is to adjust your pricing down to $1 for each offer and run a live transaction. Spiffy setup is simple, and you need to test the live checkout anyway so you can see the funds flow through to your bank account.
Remember! After you’re done testing, be sure to change all of your prices back to the intended price and publish your changes.
Setting this ‘low-dollar’ test allows you to test a LIVE transaction so that you can check that any automation is set up, as well as see how the transaction will look in Spiffy & Stripe.
Stripe requires a transaction to be at least $1.00, so when setting up your test, be sure to charge at least $1 for each offer you are testing in your Checkout Flow (eg. Main offer, Addon Offers, Upsell Offers.)
Important: We recommend NOT issuing refunds on test transactions, as it will throw off your refund rate, and Stripe does not like seeing a high percentage of refunds.
We recommend using Discounts (Promo codes) to bring the price of your main offer to $1, and manually adjusting the price of any Add-ons and One-Click Upsells down to $1.00 too if needed.
Learn more about Discounts.
To facilitate testing, we recommend getting a Privacy.com account set up if you need to share your credit card number with team members helping with setup and testing, especially if they can’t or prefer not to use their personal card for testing.
NOTE: Orders can not be deleted from Spiffy, so be sure to account for your test orders when viewing any reporting
