Test the selected bouquet, charged price and correct compartment as one complete transaction.

2026-09-27

WEIMI INSIGHTS / FLORAL RETAIL • PURCHASE TESTING

The right payment must open the right bouquet.

Test the selected bouquet, charged price and correct compartment as one complete transaction.

SELECT

The image, price and compartment match the offer.

PAY

The supported method produces a traceable outcome.

COLLECT

The correct door opens and the bouquet comes out intact.

THE DECISION IN ONE LINE

A successful payment message is only one part of acceptance. Verify the product, compartment and customer retrieval before opening sales.

01 / BUYER NOTES

Start with a clear compartment map

Identify each compartment and the bouquet assigned to it. Match the physical stock with the customer-facing description, image where used and price. Record the map so a refiller can update it consistently rather than relying on memory.

Test any mix of compartment sizes with actual arrangements. Wrapping and foliage must clear the opening, and the bouquet should remain supported during normal access. Confirm the approved handling of water containers or other hydration materials with the supplier.

02 / BUYER NOTES

Verify the normal purchase sequence

Use the actual payment methods configured for the operating country. Follow selection, payment, access and collection in order, recording the result. Confirm that the charged amount matches the displayed price and the final transaction record.

Check the correct door opens and that the customer can retrieve the bouquet without damaging it. Confirm how the system records the compartment after collection. The refill team should understand whether availability changes automatically or requires an operator action.

03 / BUYER NOTES

Ask for supported exception demonstrations

Have the supplier explain what happens when payment is declined, a door does not open or a session is interrupted. Use approved test methods; do not jam a lock or interfere with powered components to create a fault. Record the customer message and the information available to support.

Distinguish a pending authorisation from a completed charge when investigating a failed purchase. Follow the payment provider's remedy process and avoid promising a universal bank-release time. Staff need a transaction reference, not the customer's full card number.

04 / BUYER NOTES

Make the refill handover part of acceptance

Demonstrate removal of an unsold bouquet, loading a replacement and restoring the correct selection. Confirm prices and images after a product change. An accurate launch configuration can become wrong during the first refill if the procedure is unclear.

Keep the support contact and machine identifier visible. Define who can assist outside florist opening hours and how unresolved compartments are kept unavailable. Retain the acceptance record and repeat relevant checks after a lock, payment or product-mapping change.

Keep these outcomes in the test record

Normal sale

Selected bouquet, visible price and actual charge agree.

The intended compartment opens and the bouquet is collected in acceptable condition.

Failed purchase

The customer receives an understandable status and support route.

The operator can locate the payment and door event without guessing.

Refill

The replacement bouquet matches the updated digital offer.

Availability, stock and any price change are verified before sale resumes.

PRACTICAL ANSWERS

Questions worth asking before you order

What if payment succeeds but the door stays closed?

Keep the affected compartment unavailable, locate the transaction and follow the approved support and remedy process. Do not repeatedly charge the customer to test it.

Should the florist open a stuck lock manually?

Only through the manufacturer’s authorised access procedure and with the appropriate training. Do not bypass safety or security mechanisms.

How often should mapping be rechecked?

Verify it after relevant refill changes, configuration work or a wrong-item complaint. Keep the routine tied to the actual process and system behaviour.
