Without a functional payment system that is firmly set in place, your customers won\u2019t be able to make their purchases, perform any money transactions, or even ask for refunds. This means risking your online store\u2019s credibility and being unable to make a much-needed profit for your eCommerce business in the long run.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]To prevent all these from happening, we highly suggest that you set up and run a WooCommerce test mode on your online shop before your store goes live. Doing this is as easy as it can get with the help of a free Stripe extension. Just make sure to follow the instructions we presented above, such as connecting your WooCommerce store to your Stripe account, adding the Publishable and Secret test keys to activate your test mode, and then adding the product to your cart and entering your credit card test data to see if the checkout process is running smoothly. Also, while you\u2019re at it, don\u2019t forget to test whether your refunds are working properly.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We suggest that you run a WooCooCommerce test mode to avoid having any issues when your store goes live.
