How to Test Your Sales Funnel Checkout Process Without Spending Money: Optimize Press Tutorial (Part 4b)
Hey everyone, Jonathan Coates here!
Today, I'll guide you through testing your PayPal integration with Optimize Checkouts.
It’s crucial to ensure everything works smoothly without any real transactions.
Setting Up Your PayPal Integration
First things first, ensure PayPal is connected to your OptimizePress dashboard. If not, refer to Part 4a for instructions on setting up your sales funnel.
Creating a Sample Product
1. Navigate to Products: In your OptimizePress dashboard, locate and click on "Products".
2. Create a New Product: Give your sample product a name and description. For example, "Affiliate Marketing Samurai".
3. Set Pricing: Choose a pricing plan (e.g., one-time fee) and set an amount. Remember, the price doesn’t matter as we are using a sandbox account.
Configuring Payment Gateways
1. Access Payment Gateways: Go to OptimizePress settings and ensure PayPal is enabled with the mode set to "test".
2. Save Settings: Make sure to save your settings after enabling PayPal.
Creating a Checkout Page
1. Build a New Page: Navigate to OptimizePress and create a new page.
2. Select Checkout Template: Choose a suitable template for your checkout page.
3. Link Product to Checkout Form: Connect your sample product to the checkout form. Ensure the settings are correct and save changes.
Testing the Checkout Process
1. Preview Your Page: Open your checkout page in an incognito window to simulate a customer's experience.
2. Select PayPal: Ensure PayPal is an option under payment information.
3. Complete Test Transaction: Use your PayPal developer sandbox account to simulate a payment. Verify that the transaction processes correctly.
PayPal Developer Account Setup
1. Access PayPal Developer Dashboard: Log in to your PayPal developer account.
2. Generate Sandbox Accounts: Obtain test credentials (email and password) from the sandbox environment to use in your test transactions.
3. Test with Sandbox: Log in to sandbox.paypal.com using the generated credentials to simulate transactions.
Final Checks
1. Verify Currency Settings: Ensure your currency settings match your testing needs (e.g., USD for US-based testing).
2. Review Transaction Results: Check your OptimizePress dashboard to confirm that the test payment reflects correctly under "Orders".
That’s it!
You’ve successfully tested your sales funnel checkout process using PayPal with OptimizePress without incurring any real costs.
