### Part 2: Send a Test Order from Rye to the Shopify Store
1. Follow [the Quickstart guide](/api-v2-experimental/example-flows/simple-checkout), then copy the URL of a product from your Shopify store. Use that product URL in your integration to run a test checkout. This will let you place an order and confirm how it flows through the system, including how it appears from the merchant’s side.
