How to Test your Order Fulfilment Apps

App testing is important in order to discover defects/bugs before publishing, this guarantees that the App functions perfectly. Salla offers demo stores where developers can test their Apps.
Here we will go through testing Orders Fulfilment Apps.

App Testing Scenarios

Testing Apps on demo stores provides a safe and controlled environment to evaluate App functionality and performance, helping the developer verify App's behavior before publishing it.

The developer can test the Order Fulfilment App with a Salla demo store to inspect the link between the Orders Fulfilment App and Salla stores. For Orders Fulfilment Apps there is a number of events that are triggered in the store including order.created which is triggered by creating an order in the store.

In this testing scenario we will illustrate the merchant creating an order and then check the Webhooks Log to see the event.

1. The developer will need to set up the App's Webhook URL to recieve the store notifications, for the sake of this test we will set up a workable URL from https://webhook.site/. This will act as Salla Server, which will allow the developer to listen for Salla webhooks.
2. Create a demo store.
3. Install and authorize the App on the demo store.
4. Create an order on the Demo Store dashboard.

After finishing all the steps, the developer can check the Webhooks Log on the Salla Partners Portal
to see the triggered event, which in our scenario is order.created.

The above summarized steps are thoroughly explained below with images for an elaborated explanation.

The developer may proceed to App Details page in the Partners Portal to start the App testing.

1. Set up the webhook URL using Webhook stie. More details in here.
