Hey @RugbyWebDesign it actually is possible to test the carts (not orders) by using the https:// protocol in the url address bar followed by your webflow.io address. This is necessary because the cart can’t function without SSL. See Webflow staff explanation below. Hopefully this answers your question about cart testing without hosting.

Add to cart - unknown error

Hey On my published domain, eCommerce Test, I’m not able to add product to the cart. Tried toggling the inventory on/off which had not effect on this error. [55] The store is setup besides adding hosting and enabling checkout. I should be able do test orders and add items to the cart as is, correct? [35%20PM]

Hi @matthewpmunger – That error is because SSL is required to use any of the Ecommerce functionality on live sites (for store security purposes).

We’re working on improving the experience and messaging around this to make it easier to avoid (i.e. automatically use SSL for webflow.io subdomain sites), and more clear when you’re testing in a case like this.

But for now, you can either set your custom domain to SSL and it will work fine, or if using your webflow.io subdomain can just go to the https url and you will be all-good: https://ecommerce-test-c1a366.webflow.io/product/un-american-pie
