Orders place in test mode – what’s the best way to get rid of that?

(One more note – because they were placed in test mode in Stripe, I can’t just “refund” the order and uncheck the return to inventory box. When I try to do so, I get a stripe errors saying it was placed in test mode.)

Hello ??!

Thanks for reaching us!

Do the orders I placed in TEST mode affect inventory or income amounts??

Yes they do affect the inventory and the analytics stats.

I just want to know the easiest way to completely remove them, and then what ramifications will I have in doing so (will it affect inventory/income?)

Depending on your needs you have different alternatives:

• If you would like to delete all tests orders permanently you can follow these steps:

1. Head over to?WooCommerce->Orders
2. Select all test orders
3. Select the option?Move to Trash?in?Bulk Actions
4. Click on?Apply
5. Head over to?/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=trash&post_type=shop_order
6. Click on?Empty Trash

Deleting the orders permanently won’t update the stock however it can be done manually by going to the product and setting the inventory quantity.

• If you would like to re-stock the orders, you can go to the order:
  • Click refund. See: https://d.pr/i/0azasO
  • Choose the quantity that you would like to refund. See: https://d.pr/i/vv3dRA
  • Click on “Refund Manually” or “Refund via Stripe”.

After the order is re-stock you can delete the order permanently so it won’t affect the stats.
