• Prerequisites for Testing

• How do I place a test order from the Sandbox environment?

• How do I perform the E2E test cases?

In order to test your integration, you’ll need to do the following:#

1. Choose a Test Vendor

Option 1: Use an existing test vendor from your chain
Option 2: Create and onboard a new test store for testing

2. Gain access the Sandbox Environment

1. Go to the Partner Portal and use the Test Order button to simulate an order.

2. Ensure the following are set up:

   1. Webhook is configured in the Partner Portal

   2. Vendor integration settings are enabled in the catalog

   3. Based on your testing scope, you can configure the staging or production environment webhook

3. Validate Your Integration
You can leverage our end-to-end (E2E) test cases to validate that integration meeting your requirements

How do I place a test order from the sandbox environment?#

Once the integration type is configured on the store and webhook is configured. Partner Portal will show a test order button to trigger a test order.

Only following flows can be tested from sandbox environment:

• Order fulfilment with weighted and unit items

• Order cancellation

• Item replacement cannot be tested please use E2E testing flow

The below image demonstrates the READY_FOR_PICKUP and CANCELLED flows

If you want to test the flow for fulfilling an order:

1. Select the order status as READY_FOR_PICKUP and delivery type LOGISCTICS_DELIEVRY

2. Add an SKU to the order and select the item status as IN_CART

3. Click on Trigger order

Order should now appear on your webhook. You can review in API > order API > orders section in Partner Portal

If you want to test the flow to cancel an order:

1. Select the order status as CANCELLED and delivery type LOGISCTICS_DELIVERY

2. Add cancellation details cancelled by VENDOR and reason for cancellation ITEM_UNAVAILABLE

3. Add an SKU to the order and select the item status as NOT_FOUND

4. Click on Trigger order

5. Order should now appear on your webhook. You can review in API > order API > orders section in Partner Portal

2. Place order on platform, fulfil the order partially on pelican

   1. Webhook should receive READY_FOR_PICKUP event

   2. Check for items level status as IN_CART & NOT_FOUND

3. Replace the out of stock (OOS) items with a suggested item & fulfil order from Pelican

   1. Webhook should receive READY_FOR_PICKUP event

   2. Check for items level status as IN_CART & REPLACED
