Summary

Join It’s Test Mode allows Organizations to explore and evaluate the platform's functionality in a risk-free environment before going live. This feature provides an experience of the membership journey from the perspective of both admins and members, ensuring Organizations are fully prepared to launch their membership programs.

Key Features

  • No Accidental Emails: While in Test Mode, emails will not be sent to your members. Instead of emails being delivered to members, all Automated Emails will go to the designated admin recipients - who can be viewed and edited here.

  • Test Your Checkout: On your Profile, you'll be able to 'checkout' without entering payment details when your Organization is in test mode. This means you can see the entire Membership experience (minus the actual Online Payment -- if your curious what Membership Invoices look like, you can see those here).

  • Hidden from Search Engines: While in Test Mode, your Profile will have a 'no index' tag in the document head - so that Search Engines won't crawl this page until you're ready (in laymen's terms - that means it'll be invisible to Google/Bing until you're 'Live').

  • Easily 'Go Live': Within your Admin Dashboard, you'll see a notification on your account -- which tells you whether it's in Test Mode. If you're in Test Mode and ready to Go Live, then you can Activate through this link: https://app.joinit.com/activate 

Test Mode Capabilities

  • Testing Checkout Experience: One of the most powerful parts of Test Mode, is that organization admins can see the full checkout experience from the perspective of their members. When the Organization is in Test Mode, the checkout form is hidden (so credit/debit cards aren't collected) -- so that a member can register with an Offline Payment. This is intended to allow organization admins to checkout, view the confirmation message, and the members portal before activating their organization. 

    If you're ready to activate and go live, then you can do that here: https://app.joinit.com/activate 

  • Manage Automated Emails: While an Organization is in Test Mode the Automated Emails will only go to the designed admin's of the Organization based on the settings within the Automated Emails.

  • Test Quick & Easy Emails: While in Test Mode, our 'Quick & Easy Email' tool can also be tested. If an email is sent using this tool while in Test Mode, the email will be delivered to the logged in user only.
