To implement Stripe's test mode with dummy credit card details into your Webflow ecommerce site before launching it live, follow these steps:

Set up a Stripe account: Go to Stripe's website and sign up for an account if you haven't already. Once you're signed in, you'll be able to access your test API keys.
Access your Webflow site: Sign in to your Webflow account and navigate to the Project Settings tab for your ecommerce site.
Enable Payment Providers: In the Project Settings, click on the "Payment Providers" tab. Here, you can enable Stripe as your payment provider.
Add Stripe API keys: In the Payment Providers tab, you'll see fields for your Publishable Key and Secret Key. To enable test mode, enter your test API keys provided by Stripe.
Add dummy credit card details: While in test mode, you can use dummy credit card details for testing purposes. Stripe provides a set of test card numbers that you can use. For example, you can use the number "4242 4242 4242 4242" with any future expiration date and any random combination of three digits for the CVC code.
Test the payment flow: Go to your Webflow ecommerce site and initiate a test purchase. Use the dummy credit card details to complete the payment. Stripe will process it as a test transaction, allowing you to test the payment flow without making any actual charges.
Inspect Stripe dashboard: Log in to your Stripe account dashboard and navigate to the "Test Data" tab. Here, you can review and manage the test transactions made on your Webflow site.

By following these steps, you can easily implement Stripe's test mode with dummy credit card details into your Webflow ecommerce site, giving you confidence in your site's payment processes before launching it live.
