Can I place an order on Webflow without purchasing a plan by using a sandbox account?

No, it is not possible to place an order on Webflow without purchasing a plan, even with a sandbox account. In order to create an e-commerce website and enable the ability for customers to make purchases, you need to have an active Webflow hosting plan that includes e-commerce functionality.

Webflow offers different plans with varying levels of features and capabilities, including the ability to set up an online store. The e-commerce functionality is specifically designed to handle payments, inventory management, order fulfillment, and other essential features required for a successful online business.

A sandbox account, on the other hand, is typically used for testing and development purposes. It allows you to create and experiment with website designs and functionality without affecting the live version of your website. However, sandbox accounts do not have the capability to process real transactions or handle real orders.

To enable customers to place orders and make purchases on your Webflow website, you will need to subscribe to a paid plan that includes e-commerce functionality. This will provide you with the necessary features to set up your online store, configure payment gateways, manage inventory, and track orders.
