As a developer this change has been incredibly frustrating. I used to be able to just create test orders within the admin. Now I am supposed to use the bogus checkout via my test store, and my checkouts are locked. I have contacted support and they were unable to unlock it so now I am waiting for a follow up. I need to create test orders ASAP for my job. Please consider rolling back this change as I am not the only one with this issue. It would certainly cut down on the amount of support tickets raised.
Hi, @bt95
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback regarding testing orders in development stores - have you read through this resource? There is also a Community topic here with some threaded suggestions, and further explanation on the matter that I’d recommend running through.
I have also submitted some feedback to our developers on your behalf about this. I’ll note that we do not promise any changes to our platform from these requests, but we highly appreciate all feedback that is given.
For any account-specific support, our team will need to follow up directly with you as you mentioned, as we do not offer account-specific support via the Community at this time.
Please let me know if I can assist you further and thanks again for sharing your feedback with us.
Agree, letting bad actors hinder valid development testing processes in the ecosystem is absurd.
