How to Test Dropshipping Order Sync

You can place a test order to verify that your store is correctly connected to Tapstitch and that orders can sync successfully. Follow the steps below to test the order synchronization process:

Step 1: Confirm the Product is Published

Ensure that the product has been:

• Successfully added to your store from Tapstitch
• Published and visible on your online storefront

Step 2: Place a Test Order

• Visit your online store
• Find the product you just published
• Add it to your cart and complete the checkout process

⚠️ You don’t need to pay for the order. Unpaid orders will not enter production or shipping.

Step 3: Check for Order Sync in Tapstitch

• Go to Tapstitch → Orders
• Select your connected platform tab (e.g., Shopify, WooCommerce)
• Look for the test order

Sync typically takes up to 5 minutes

Step 4: Verify the Sync Result

• If the order appears → ✅ Sync successful
• If the order does not appear:
  • Go to Synced History to check for sync logs
• If no record is found, try using Manually Sync Orders

Troubleshooting

If the order still doesn't appear after manual sync:

• Review [Why did my order fail to synchronize?]
• Check if there are issues with your product setup or platform integration
