I have a WooCommerce store set up on my sales letter page. I installed integrations for PayPal and Braintree, the latter of which was a purchased plug in, while the former was just offered as a standard payment option in WooCommerce.
I went through the process of having my accounts vetted by the processing companies. Braintree was particularly thorough before giving me a Merchant account, but I passed. I also sent a lot of personal info to PayPal through my account there.
Through it all, I've seen the "sandbox" options in the WooCommerce Settings tab. I also sought advice from my friends who had previously set up a store, but unlike me they integrated all the payments themselves and used Presta, not WooCommerce. They suggested that I should test it with a cheap bogus product. In effect, I want to ask other entrepreneurs the following:
1. Is it necessary to test these two payment options before launching? I was thinking yes, but then I don't know what to test since I didn't program the integrations myself. I could test notifications, emails, and payment speed maybe?
2. If your answer to the above was yes, how should I go about it? As I mentioned, my vetting process with Braintree was very thorough. I have only one high value product, and adding a "test option" would require notifying them and asking if it's okay. Should I use "sandbox" mode instead?
3. What did you do with your store?
I would be very grateful for any responses from folks in the online trenches, especially if you aren't a programmer and went through a similar process.
Thanks in advance!
