Test your checkout without paying

Run a real $0 purchase through your own checkout to confirm the whole buy → sign in → access flow works — before a single customer arrives.

Before you share your paid app with the world, you want to know one thing for sure: when someone pays, do they actually get in? The best way to find out is to be your own first customer — for free.

OverSkill gives you a 100% off test code so you can run a real, complete purchase through your own checkout for $0. No real card, no real charge — but everything else behaves exactly like a paying customer's first visit.

Why this matters

A checkout isn't just a payment box. After someone pays, your app has to:

1. Recognize the payment
2. Sign the buyer in (or help them create an account)
3. Unlock the paid parts of your app for them

A test purchase walks that entire path so you can watch it happen and fix anything that feels off — before it costs you a real sale or a confused customer.

How to create a test checkout

You have two easy ways:

Option 1 — the Payments tab

Go to Payments in your account. If your app has payments turned on and at least one price set up, you'll see a Test your checkout card. Click Create test checkout next to your app and you'll get a 100% off test code.

Option 2 — just ask in the chat

In your app's editor, tell the AI:

Create a test checkout for my app.

It hands back a 100% off test code and tells you how to use it.

How to use the test code

1. Open your app's checkout page (the same one your customers will use).
2. Apply the 100% off test code at checkout.
3. Complete the purchase — the total is $0, so nothing is charged.
4. Watch what happens next: you should be signed in and the paid content should unlock, exactly like a real buyer.

If you end up signed in with full access, your funnel works. If anything stalls — you're not signed in, the paid section stays locked — that's your cue to ask the AI to fix it, and you caught it for free.

Good to know

• A $0 test order still grants access. That's the whole point — it proves the you paid, here's your access hand-off works.
• Test codes expire after about 48 hours. Need a fresh one later? Create another anytime — it's free and takes seconds.
• Repeat as much as you like. Asking for a test checkout again just hands back the active code rather than piling up new ones.
• It only covers your own app's prices. The code is tied to the plans you've set up, so it can't be used anywhere else.
