This page includes details for setting up your environment and testing your integration to ensure everything works as planned.

Order management functions

It is important to review your order management functions before entering the testing phase. Processing orders (capture, void, refund, and partial refund) in BigCommerce updates the order status in the Affirm dashboard. While you can process orders in the dashboard, we strongly recommend using BigCommerce to keep order status synced with Affirm rather than manually updating the Affirm dashboard. For more information on processing orders in BigCommerce, refer to their documentation.
