Simulating purchases?

Hi all,

I’ve taken over responsibility for a WordPress installation that uses s2Member. The website is used to sell course materials to students, and so any problem with the checkout process results in many students emailing the professors saying they cannot purchase or access the materials.

I’d like to be able to test the full purchasing and accessing experience as it would appear to a new student so that I can find bugs before the students do, but I’m not sure how to do that since the PayPal button is a “live” one.

What should I do?

Set a very low price for something and “buy” that.
