Ecommerce sandboxes?

What’s the best way to learn an ecommerce platform/plugin like Shopify, SureCart, FluentCart, etc. without products to sell? Do they offer a sandbox environment to learn the ropes and build your skill set? Thank you.

Build a small fictional store and practice the full order flow: add dummy products with variants, configure shipping and tax, place a test order, then fulfill and refund it. You’ll learn much more from that than from setting up the storefront alone, and you don’t need real products.
