Previewing the checkout process
Before you go ahead and make a test purchase, set up your site in a way that allows you to run through checkout without it being available to customers. Then, you can test the process by logging in to your site's Members Area and selecting a store product.
Notes:
- Only the site owner can preview the checkout process, not site Admins or people with other roles & permissions.
- It's not currently possible to preview the checkout process for Wix Bookings services.
To preview store checkout:
- Prepare your site to preview the checkout process:
- Enable the manual payment method so you won't be charged.
- If your site has a Premium plan, do one of the following:
- Temporarily unassign the plan from your site.
- Duplicate your site and test the checkout on the duplicated version.
- If you deleted your Members Area, re-add it now.
- (If not already logged in) Log in to your Wix account.
- Open your live site.
- Log in to your site using the Members Area.

- Navigate to a Shop page.
- Add a product to your cart and click Checkout.
- Click I just want to place a test order.
