An important part of the integration process is QA, in essence, making sure your integration will work in the way it’s supposed to for users. In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to do in order to complete the QA process. 

To create your site, you’ll first need to create a Wix account. Note: this account is a different account than the Dev Center account you’ve already created. Once you’ve created your Wix account, you’ll see the screen below. To speed things up, just click “Skip” at the bottom of the screen.  

Once you’ve clicked “Skip”, you’ll see the screen below. Click “Choose a Template”. 

Let’s start with creating your store site first. Click store and choose anything from the drop-down list. 

For this example, we selected “Fashion & Clothing” from the drop-down. Hover over any site and click “Edit”.

After clicking “Edit”, you’ll be taken to your store. There’s no need to add any products or edit the website in any way. You can test your provider using the products already in the template, or you can add your own product. You still need to save your site, add a bookings option, and then upgrade and publish your site. Let’s go through that now. 

Before you add bookings and upgrade, you’ll need to save your site. On the left-hand side, you’ll see the word save, click it. Before you save your site, you need to give it a name. We suggest “sandbox”, that way, you’ll know which site you can experiment with. 

To add Bookings to your site, click here and then click “Add to Site”. You need to select the site you’ve just saved when asked which site you want to add Bookings to. You’ll then see this screen. 

Click “Add to Site” once more, and you’ll see this. 

Next, you’ll need to add a service. Click Manage Services. You’ll see this. 

Click “1 on 1”. Create the service by using any information and click save. 

You’ll see this. Once you upgrade your site, you’ll be able to use this newly created service to test your provider. 

At this point, it’s probably best to save your site again before upgrading it. At the top of your screen, click the purple “Upgrade”. 

You’ll be taken to the price picker page. Click the “Business & eCommerce Plans” tab. Select the Business Basic plan. 

Select a plan and continue to checkout. 

To get a coupon you can use to upgrade your site, get in touch with us. We'll give you a promo code you can apply at checkout.

Now, publish your site, by clicking the “Publish” button in the upper right-hand corner. 

To duplicate your site, you’ll need to click “My Sites” and then “Go to All Sites”.

Click the 3 dot menu to the right of your site. Then select “Duplicate Site”. 

Be sure to rename the site “Live”. That way, you’ll be able to quickly remember which site is which. For QA purposes, we need a transaction-free site. 

Once you’ve duplicated your first site, you’ll need to save, upgrade, and publish the newly created copy. You can do this by clicking “Edit Site” and following the same steps you’ve already taken. Be sure to use the same promo code for your second site, so you aren’t charged. 

Now that you have a duplicated site, feel free to play around on the “sandbox” site. We’ll need the “live” site to be free of any transactions. 

Be sure to submit your live site with the checklist that you can find in this article.
