Diluted Test Order for WooCommerce
·
Adds a fake payment method so you can test the full checkout flow without a real payment provider. Ideal for staging, QA and local development.
This plugin adds a WooCommerce payment method that completes checkout without a real payment provider. Orders are saved and marked paid like a normal purchase, only the payment is fake.
- Admin-only — Only users who can
manage_woocommerce(typically administrators and shop managers) see the method at checkout. Guests and customers never see it. - Paid immediately — Orders complete as if payment succeeded. Stock updates, emails, and other post-payment behavior run as usual.
- Works everywhere you check out — Shortcode/classic checkout and the Cart & Checkout blocks.
Usage
- Sign in as a user with the Shop manager or Administrator role (or any role that includes
manage_woocommerce). - Add products to the cart and open checkout.
- Choose the test payment method in the checkout, the default label is Test order (fake payment) unless you changed it under the gateway settings.
- Place the order. You are redirected to the order received (thank-you) page; the order is recorded as paid.
You can customize the Title and Description shown at checkout under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → Test order (admin only).
