Use **Testing** or **Testing mode** while configuring a discount. The offer is visible to the merchant for testing but is not live for customers. AIOD discount template gallery used to select and configure an offer before testing ## Prepare the test 1. Create or open the discount in AIOD. 2. Set its top-right status control to **Testing** or **Testing mode**. 3. Review its products, collections, variants, customer eligibility, markets, purchase type, limits, combinations, sales channels, and schedule. 4. Save the discount. ## Test the eligibility boundary Use a private or incognito storefront window. Build one cart that does not qualify and another that does. For quantity or spend thresholds, test immediately below, exactly at, and above the threshold. Confirm: * the discount does not apply too early; * the expected product, order, gift, or shipping reward appears; * removing a qualifying item removes or recalculates the reward; * code-based offers reject an incorrect code and accept the exact configured code; * widgets and messages appear in the intended storefront locations; and * the final cart and checkout totals match the campaign design. ## Make the offer live After every test passes, return to the discount, change its status to **Live**, and save. **Live** makes the discount active for customers. Use **Deactive** when the offer should be turned off. Repeat a short live test after activation, especially when the theme, product availability, or another discount changed during setup.
