Go Live With Confidence: Pre-Launch Testing Checklist
Go Live With Confidence: Pre-Launch Testing Checklist for Your Online Store
Never “just push live” and hope. A 1–2 day test sprint can save weeks of embarrassment.
1. Content & Links
- Verify:
- Logo, tagline, contact details
- About, FAQ, policies
- Click through:
- Main menu & footer links
- Category and collection links
- Banners and buttons
No dead ends, no placeholder text.
2. Product & Cart Behaviour
- Add multiple products:
- With variants
- With discounts
- Check:
- Correct pricing
- Stock behavior
- Add/remove from cart
- Cart updates in real time
3. Checkout & Payments
Run test orders for:
- Prepaid (UPI / card)
- COD (if enabled).
- Different order values
- Different PIN codes
Confirm:
- Orders appear in dashboard
- Payment status is accurate
- Taxes & shipping are correct
4. Shipping & Notifications
After test orders:
- Check:
- Order confirmation emails/SMS/WhatsApp
- Dispatch / tracking messages (if integrated)
- Generated invoices & labels
Everything should speak in your brand voice and show correct info.
5. Mobile Experience
Test on:
- 2–3 common phone sizes
- 4G or average Wi-Fi
Look for:
- Readable text
- Easy buttons
- Smooth scrolling
- No overlapping elements
6. Speed & Basic Stability
- Ensure pages load quickly.
- Remove unnecessary heavy scripts.
- Confirm no major console errors (if your team checks).
7. Final “Human” Check
Ask someone not involved to:
- Discover a product
- Add to cart
- Checkout
- Share feedback
If they hesitate or get confused, fix that point.
A managed partner should walk through this with you. That’s standard in how ShopSwift approaches launch.
