Does the test pay, or leave anything in my store?

The agent never calls the step that completes a purchase, and no card or payment details are part of the test. That's why the last of its four answers, Pay, always says Not tested, and Emtor never reports it as passed.

What happens in your store

• One checkout, canceled. The agent creates one checkout for one item, picks a delivery option when your store offers one, and cancels the checkout at the end. The cancel counts only when your store answers that it's canceled.
• No order, no charge. The checkout is never completed, so no order is placed, nothing is charged and nothing ships.
• A made-up shopper. The checkout's email address is agent-test@example.com, and the delivery address is a made-up street in a real city.
• Pages and files, only read. The agent opens one product page on your site and, if your store hands the checkout over with a link, that link. After the steps, it reads your store's profile for agents, agents.md and llms.txt at your web address, once each and without following redirects. It only reads them.
• Only your store. The test talks to your own store's agent interface on its myshopify.com address, opens pages only on your store's own domains, and follows a page's redirects only within your store and Shopify.

If the cancel doesn't go through

The result says so, as a problem on Emtor's side, not yours. The checkout was never paid, and it expires on its own.

What we haven't checked yet

Whether Shopify lists the canceled test checkout among your abandoned checkouts. Until we have, we don't say either way.

How often it happens

Once per agent test. A test runs the first time you open Emtor, whenever you start one, once a day with the daily test on, and after a policy fix, 30 minutes and 24 hours later, unless another test has run since then. When a daily test finds a new problem, it runs once more 2 minutes later to confirm it.
