# Testing

If you'd like to test the Merchant Onboarding experience end-to-end, the best way to do that is to set up a test Shopify store and go through your Violet Connect flow in Test Mode.

The URL for this is: **<https://connect.violet.dev/{your\\_path\\_here}>** .

{% hint style="info" %}
Violet Connect in Test Mode is activated once you become a paying customer.
{% endhint %}

Proceed to the next page for info on connecting your **TEST** Shopify Store in Test Mode.

{% hint style="warning" %}
WARNING: Only connect TEST stores to TEST MODE. Live stores connecting to Test Mode can result in termination of your service with Violet.
