Place order with physical products

Objective

Verify that a customer can browse products, add them to cart, complete checkout with a valid credit card, and receive an order confirmation. This is the primary revenue-generating flow.

Preconditions

  • Customer account exists with verified email
  • At least 2 physical products are published with available inventory
  • Stripe test mode is configured with valid API keys
  • Customer is logged into the Customer Portal

Steps

# Action Expected Result
1 Navigate to product catalog page Product listing displays with prices and availability
2 Click "Add to Cart" on first product Cart badge updates to show 1 item, toast confirms addition
3 Click "Add to Cart" on second product Cart badge updates to 2 items
4 Click cart icon in navigation header Cart drawer slides open showing both products with quantities and subtotal
5 Click "Proceed to Checkout" Checkout page loads with shipping address form
6 Enter valid shipping address and select shipping method Shipping cost calculates and order total updates
7 Enter valid test credit card (4242 4242 4242 4242) Card field shows validated state with card brand icon
8 Click "Place Order" Loading spinner appears, then redirects to order confirmation page
9 Verify order confirmation page Order number displayed, line items match cart, total matches checkout

Postconditions

  • Order record created in database with status "pending_fulfillment"
  • Order confirmation email sent to customer's email address
  • Inventory quantity decremented for both purchased products
  • Payment charge captured in Stripe (verify in Stripe dashboard)
  • Webhook dispatched to fulfillment service with order details
  • Audit log entry created with action "order.created" and customer ID

Edge Cases

  • Order with quantity > 1 of same product — verify inventory deducts correct amount
  • Order with product at maximum inventory — verify "last item" handling
  • Payment gateway timeout — verify order is not created, customer sees retry option
  • Browser back button during payment processing — verify no duplicate charges
  • Coupon code applied at checkout — verify discount reflected in total and payment
