Your go-live checklist

The final pass before you launch — test an order end to end, confirm emails and stock, and tidy SEO and appearance.

Last updated: 6 min read

Before you point customers at your store, run one end-to-end pass. The goal is for launch day to be boring — everything you'd worry about, you've already checked.

Place a real test order

  1. Buy something on the storefront

    Add a product to the cart and complete checkout with a real payment method (use your processor's test mode if available).

  2. Confirm the order appears

    Open Sales & Reports → Orders and check the order is there with the right total, status, and items.

  3. Check emails fired

    Confirm the order confirmation email arrived. Configure where notifications go under Global Configuration → Notifications.

  4. Check stock moved

    Open the product and confirm available stock dropped by the quantity ordered.

Polish before launch

  • SEO — set default titles and descriptions under Global Configuration → SEO & Metadata.
  • Appearance — set your theme and brand colors under Global Configuration → Appearance.
  • Operational flow — pick how orders are processed under Commerce Management → Order Fulfillment.
  • Inventory rules — tune stock visibility and reservations under Commerce Management → Inventory & Stock.
