Test before you spend on ads
A five-minute end-to-end check on your own store, so the first real click is not the first test.
Run the whole funnel yourself once. It costs five minutes and catches every setup mistake that matters.
The full pass
- Open the game URL in a normal browser window, as a shopper would. Not the editor preview: the real page.
- Flip the cards. Confirm the gifts revealed are the ones you configured, and that the labels read the way you want.
- Continue to the product page. Confirm the gift stack appears, showing the gifts you just collected.
- Add the product to your cart. Confirm the free-product gifts appear as lines at $0, and that percentage or amount discounts are reflected.
- Go to checkout. Confirm the discounts hold, including free shipping if you offered it.
- Place a real order if you can stomach it. This is the only way to confirm the whole chain, and it is what we do before every release.
What to look for at each step
| Step | The thing that usually breaks |
|---|---|
| Game page | Page redirects instead of rendering: you are over the free cap, or the campaign is paused |
| Gift stack | Block not placed on the published theme |
| Cart | Gift product not sellable, or no non-gift item in the cart yet |
| Checkout | Your own discount rules conflicting |
On a password-protected store
If your store still has its password page up, you can test as long as you enter the storefront password first. The game page is a normal page of your store and sits behind the same password.
Test on a phone
Most paid-social traffic is mobile. Flip the cards on a real phone, not just a narrow browser window, and check the board fits without scrolling.
