How to Test Dropshipping Order Sync

August 26, 2025 · Updated

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:
