“I installed it. Now what?”

How to use each page of Checkout X-Ray, in the app’s own words: what to click, what you’ll see, and what each plan adds.

Using the app

Getting started
Your first minutes with Checkout X-Ray: Home, the suggested test carts built from your discounts, and where everything is.
Build a cart in the Simulator
Price any cart in the Simulator: products, codes, the country it ships to, a shipping rate, and on Pro and Business a customer.
Read the price X-ray and the reasons
How to read the price X-ray layer by layer, the banners for discounts that weren’t applied, shipping notes and stock warnings.
Test carts and checks
Save carts as test carts, when they are checked on each plan, what OK, Changed and Error mean, and re-running, accepting and muting.
Alerts by email and Slack
The change page, alert emails and their timing, Slack alerts on Business, muting a test cart and accepting a new price.
Combinations
The Combinations page: issues by kind, how to fix each, the discounts that block the most, and the matrix on Pro and Business.
Refund Watch
The Refunds page: the four totals, the kind of each refund, where refunds pile up, and the rules and alerts on Pro and Business.

Plans and billing
Changing, upgrading or cancelling your plan through Shopify, the free trial, and what happens to your test carts on a smaller plan.
Uninstalling and your data
What Checkout X-Ray keeps, for how long, and how it is deleted after you uninstall or when a customer asks.

Install on Shopify
Add Checkout X-Ray from the Shopify App Store. It opens in your Shopify admin, on the Free plan.
Build the customer’s cart
Open the Simulator. Pick the products, type the code they used and the country it ships to, then calculate the price.
Read the answer
The price X-ray shows each layer, and every code that wasn't applied gets a sentence saying why. Save it as a test cart to have it checked again.
