Put them in the tank and see if they start moving. Snails will retreat into their shells when they are being moved about. 10 minutes in the tank should be enough to start exploring the tank.

No movement been hours
Leave them overnight, give them a chance to recover from the move. How where the snails looking in store? I always pick ones that are attached to the glass to make sure i get live ones.

Make sure they are foot down (the opening of the shell is facing down, against the substrate).
Put some food in, the sinking kind, to fall near them. They have a sense of smell and are night eaters, so if there's life in them the food will rouse them.
I've had snails take 2-3 days to start adapting to their new environment. Others scoot right off within minutes and thrive. Still others just don't ever move, unable to adapt no matter who else is doing fine around them.
