How to Test NINEMAGS After Product or Template Changes

This guide explains how to safely test NINEMAGS without charging real money after you change a product, template, or upload logic.

This test helps you check:

• the product setup
• the template
• image upload
• cart and checkout behavior

Step 1. Create Test Discount Codes

Testing is done using a free test order, so you need discount codes.

1. Full Order Discount (100%)

Go to:

Shopify Admin → Discounts → Create discount

Set the following options:

• Type: Amount off order

• Method: Discount code
• Discount code: NINEMAGS  
• Discount value: 100%

Combinations:

• ❌ Product discounts
• ❌ Order discounts
• ✅ Shipping discounts (enable this)

Save the discount.

2. Free Shipping Discount

Create another discount:

Create discount → Free shipping

Settings:

• Method: Discount code
• Discount code: NINEMAGSSHIP  

Combinations:

• ✅ Order discounts

Save the discount.

Result

You should now have two discount codes:

• NINEMAGS   — makes the order free
• NINEMAGSSHIP   — removes shipping cost

Step 2. Place a Test Order in Your Store

1. Open your storefront
2. Go to the product you want to test
3. Click Upload pictures
4. Upload images
5. Add the product to cart

In the cart, check that:

• ✅ image previews are displayed
• ✅ the Edit pictures button is visible
• ✅ image editing works

Click Checkout.

Step 3. Apply Discounts at Checkout

On the checkout page:

1. Enter NINEMAGS   → Apply
2. Enter NINEMAGSSHIP   → Apply

Make sure that:

• ✅ Order discount = 100%
• ✅ Shipping = FREE
• ✅ Total = $0.00

Complete the order.

Step 4. Check the Order After Checkout

In Shopify:

• Go to Orders
• Open the test order
• Status: Paid
• The order contains a custom product

In NINEMAGS:

• Go to Orders
• The order is visible
• Uploaded images are present
• The order is ready for processing

When You Should Always Run This Test

It is strongly recommended to run this test every time you:

• change a product template
• add or edit product variants
• change upload logic
• change your Shopify theme
• modify Cart or Drawer Preview settings
