Testing the system.

In the Automation Station menu, place your mouse over on "Setup" and click on the "System test" link. You'll be taken to a screen that allows you to perform several tests, such as affiliate tracking, order form and mailing list tests.

You'll reach a page with detailed instructions on how to perform a system test.

Warning: By default your Automation Station account was activated with the system test mode turned to "On." Make sure you turn it to "Off" once your website is ready to be made public.



Performing a live test order of your products.

After everything is set up, it is always a good idea to do a test order of your products to make sure everything works fine. Doing it is easy; just set the price of a product at $0.01 and order it using your own credit card. Once you've made sure all is ok, change the product price back to normal and that's it.

There is one exception to the testing method described above: PayPal. PayPal.com doesn't allow you to send money to your own account.

To overcome this problem, we've set up a special board in ThirdSphere's users forum where you can ask someone to buy your product as a test. This is a win-win situation: you'll be able to test that everything works perfectly on your e-commerce system, and the person who helps you will get a new product for only $0.01.

Great! You have just finished the initial configuration of your account. Now the fun begins, because you are ready to jump in and start learning how, with just a few mouse-clicks, this powerful automation system will help you take total control of all your mailing lists and autoresponders
