**Hello Guys,**

**I have been working on a Shopware Plugin that synchronizes data based on order/payment statuses and if an order has an invoice or not. The problem I’m facing now is that I don’t know when or where the order/payment statuses are set and I also don’t know when Invoices are created. I can test the plugin by manipulating these factors manually, but assuming that this usually happens automatically, it’s not very practical. Can anyone tell me how and when the order/payment statuses are changed, when invoices are created and if there are&nbsp;plugins that I can use to simulate the ordering/payment process for testing? All help is appreciated.**

**Thanks in advance!**

There should be a sandbox mode in every payment plugin.&nbsp;

I wasn’t aware of that. I will check it out.

Thanks a lot!
