Overview:
Before going live with your funnel, it's critical to ensure everything is functioning properly—from payment processing to customer access and email notifications. JVZoo’s Test Purchase Mode makes it easy to test your entire funnel without impacting your stats or requiring full-price transactions.
Why Use Test Purchase Mode?
Testing your funnel with a live credit card at full price (e.g., $800) is risky and unnecessary. It can inflate your sales statistics, require refunds, and potentially affect your seller reputation. JVZoo solves this with Test Purchase Mode, allowing you to simulate purchases at very low prices (like $1.00, $1.01, and $1.02) to verify everything is working as expected.
How to Enable Test Purchase Mode
- Log in to your JVZoo Seller Dashboard.
- Navigate to Manage Funnels.
- Locate the funnel you want to test.
- Click Activate Test Purchase Mode.
💡 Note: Test mode is cookie-based and only affects your device. Live visitors will still see the normal pricing.
What Happens in Test Mode?
- Your funnel prices will appear at very low test amounts (e.g., $1.00, $1.01, $1.02).
- You can follow the customer journey:
- Click the Buy button on your sales page.
- Complete the purchase process.
- Confirm that access is granted, emails are triggered, and upsells/downsells function correctly.
- On your checkout page, you’ll see a notice indicating you’re in Test Mode.
- Your total test order might look like: $1.01 + $1.02 + $1.03 = $3.06

Testing Refunds and Automation
If you want to test refund behavior or remove access automatically:
- Complete the test purchase.
- Process a refund.
- Confirm that automated actions are working as expected.
These transactions will not affect your sales stats or reputation.
Deactivating Test Purchase Mode
- Test mode will automatically disable after one hour.
- You can also manually disable it by clicking the orange Disable Test Mode button.
- If you activate it by accident, no worries—just click to turn it off.
Best Practices
- Always test before launching or making funnel changes.
- Use this mode whenever adding new upsells, downsells, or editing funnel elements.
- Confirm customer experience, delivery, and automation before going live.
Conclusion:
JVZoo’s Test Purchase Mode is a simple, effective way to ensure your funnel is working perfectly—without the risks of live transactions. Always run a quick test before launching to avoid issues and deliver a seamless experience to your customers.
