As part of the Comply onboarding process in Shopify POS, it is mandatory to place a test order in order to verify that both the integration and the tax configuration are functioning correctly. This procedure ensures that the sales workflow complies with the statutory invoicing requirements.
Test Order Requirements
Product Amount
The order must correspond to a product with a price greater than €0.
Test orders with zero amounts or free products are not valid, as they do not generate compliant invoices.
A custom sale of a product created at the time of the test is permitted, provided it meets the above conditions.
Tax Application
The selected product must include the applicable taxes (VAT or others, depending on configuration).
The purpose is to ensure that the invoice reflects the correct taxation as required by the tax authorities.
To validate that taxes are properly configured in Shopify, follow the instructions set forth in this article.
Payment Method
Payment may be made using any method available in Shopify POS (card, cash, etc.), provided it is duly recorded in the system.
Step-by-Step Procedure
Access Shopify POS with your assigned user credentials and role.
Select a product with an amount greater than €0 that has the corresponding taxes configured, or create a custom sale with an amount greater than €0.
Add the product to the cart and verify that taxes are automatically applied.
Complete the order by executing an actual payment (it may be of a low amount, but never free of charge).
Confirm in both the Shopify Admin dashboard and in Comply that the invoice generated accurately reflects:
Net amount.
Taxes applied.
Total amount collected.
Objective of the Test Order
To confirm that the integration between Shopify POS and Comply functions correctly.
To validate that taxes are automatically calculated and recorded.
To ensure that invoices comply with the requirements imposed by the tax authorities prior to commencing live sales operations.
Conclusion
The test order is a mandatory step in the onboarding process of Shopify POS with Comply. It must always be carried out with an amount greater than €0 and inclusive of taxes, thereby ensuring the proper validation of the invoicing system before initiating store operations.
