How to create a Channable Testorder

The easiest way to create a test order is directly from the Magento admin panel:

1. Go to Channable → Orders
2. Scroll down to the Webhooks section
3. Find the store view you want to test
4. Click the Simulate Order button

The extension will create a test order using a random product from your catalog and redirect you to the newly created order.

For more control over the test order, you can add parameters to the simulation URL. The base URL is shown in your admin panel, and you can append these parameters:

Example URL with parameters:

https://yourstore.com/admin/channable/order/simulate/store_id/1/product_id/42/qty/2/country/DE

Or using query string format:

https://yourstore.com/admin/channable/order/simulate?store_id=1&product_id=42&qty=2&country=DE

By default, the simulator picks a random enabled simple product from your store. Use product_id to test with a specific product.

When to use:

• Testing a specific product that had import issues
• Verifying configurable/grouped/bundle product imports work
• Testing products with special pricing or attributes

Example: product_id=123

Sets the quantity for the test order. Defaults to 1.

When to use:

• Testing stock deduction with multiple items
• Verifying quantity-based shipping rules
• Testing tier pricing behavior

Example: qty=5

Sets the country code for the billing and shipping address. Defaults to "NL" (Netherlands).

When to use:

• Testing orders from different countries
• Verifying tax calculation for international orders
• Testing country-specific shipping methods
• US orders will automatically include state information (Texas/TX)

Example: country=US, country=BE, country=DE

When set to 1, simulates a Fulfillment by Bol (FBB/LVB) order. These orders arrive with status "shipped" since bol.com handles fulfillment.

When to use:

• Testing FBB/LVB order handling
• Verifying auto-ship functionality
• Testing stock behavior for fulfilled orders

Example: lvb=1

1. Create a simple test order without parameters
2. Verify the order appears in Magento
3. Check shipping method is assigned correctly
4. Verify invoice is created (if auto-invoice is enabled)
5. Check customer data (or guest order if customer import is disabled)

/channable/order/simulate/store_id/1/country/DE

Verify:

• Correct country appears on addresses
• Tax calculation is correct for the country
• Shipping method handles international orders

/channable/order/simulate/store_id/1/lvb/1

Verify:

• Order imports with "shipped" status
• Auto-ship creates shipment (if enabled)
• Stock is handled correctly (if "Disregard stock" is enabled)
• Order reaches "Complete" status (if auto-invoice + auto-ship enabled)

/channable/order/simulate/store_id/1/product_id/42/qty/3

Verify:

• Correct product is added to order
• Quantity matches parameter
• Stock is deducted correctly
• Pricing is calculated properly

Order import must be enabled for the store view you're testing.

Solution: Go to Channable → Orders → Enable and set to Yes for your store view.

The random product selector couldn't find an eligible product.

Solution:

• Use product_id parameter with a specific enabled product
• Ensure you have enabled simple products in the store
• Check that products have stock (unless backorders are enabled)

The test order bypasses some validation that real orders go through.

Solution: After testing basic functionality, also test with a real (or staging) Channable webhook to verify the full flow.

getTestData(array $params): array

Returns the complete order data array in Channable format. This is where you can modify:

• Customer details (name, email, phone)
• Address information
• Price structure (subtotal, shipping, commission)
• Product data format

getProductData(array $params): array

Retrieves product information for the test order. Supports:

• Specific product by ID (product_id parameter)
• Random product selection
• Custom price override (price parameter—not exposed in URL)

getRandomProduct(): DataObject

Selects a random enabled product. Respects:

• Store filter
• Product type settings (includes grouped/bundle if enabled in config)
• Status filter (enabled products only)

If you need to test specific scenarios not covered by URL parameters, you can temporarily modify getTestData():

// In getTestData(), modify the customer data:
"customer" => [
    "gender" => "female",
    "phone" => "0612345678",
    "email" => "test@example.com",
    "first_name" => "Custom",
    "last_name" => "Test",
    "company" => "My Test Company",
    "business_order" => true,  // Test B2B order
],

Or test different price scenarios:

"price" => [
    "currency" => "EUR",
    "subtotal" => 100.00,
    "shipping" => 5.95,
    "discount" => 10.00,
    "total" => 95.95,
    "transaction_fee" => 2.50,  // Test CDiscount fee
    "commission" => 15.00,
],

Note: Remember to revert any code changes after testing, or create a separate development branch for testing modifications.
