# How to test my survey
Before publishing your survey, you can preview it on our platform to get an initial look.
However, we understand that you might want to test the real experience before making it live for your customers. Here are a few simple steps to help you smoothly test your survey in a real environment.
### **Open Your Project**
First, go to the project where your survey is set up. Make sure the distribution channel you want to test is enabled. You can check this by looking at the toggle on the right side—if it’s On, that means the survey is currently active.
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Thank You" & Order Status Page" %}
If your survey is set to appear on the Thank You and Order Status Page, you can easily test it by placing a test order in your own store. This will let you see exactly how the survey appears to your customers after they complete a purchase.

#### **Pro Tip: Want to make the survey visible only to yourself?**
If you’d like to test the survey privately without showing it to real customers, you can use Display Segmentation Settings (Plus plan feature). Simply go to Shopify Segments in your admin panel and create a segment that includes only your test customer account. This way, the survey will only be displayed to your test account and remain hidden from others.
{% endhint %}

### **What to Do If the Survey Doesn’t Appear**
#### Are you using Checkout Extensibility?
If you’re using Checkout Extensibility, make sure you’ve added the Gojiberry App Block in your Theme Editor. If the survey is not showing up, please refer to [this article](https://docs.gojiberry.app/documentation/surveys/checkout-extensibility) for detailed setup instructions.
#### Retesting the Survey
Surveys are designed to appear only once per customer. If you have already submitted a response for the survey and want to test it again, you'll need to view the Thank You page or Order Status page for an order made using a different email address.
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="In-Store Widget" %}
If you’re displaying your survey via the In-Store Widget, you can customize its settings to match the experience you want to test. Adjust options such as which page the survey appears on and the timing of when it shows up after a visitor lands on your site. Make sure to configure these settings in a way that makes testing more convenient for you.
### **What to Do If the Survey Doesn’t Appear**
#### **Make sure you have enabled Gojiberry in your App Embeds**
1. Open your Theme Editor
2. Go to the "App Embeds" panel
3. Enable "Gojiberry" under App Embeds
#### **Retesting the Survey**
Just like other surveys, the In-Store Widget survey is designed to appear only once per visitor. If you’ve already viewed it and need to test it again, clear your cookies and site data before refreshing the page. This will reset your visitor identity and allow the survey to appear again.
Alternatively, you can use incognito (private browsing) window to test the survey. This way, you won’t be restricted by the one-time display setting.
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Link/QR Code" %}
If you’re distributing your survey through a link or QR code, simply open the link, and you’ll be able to see your survey right away.

If you want to delete your test data, follow these steps:
1. Open your project
