How to test a credit card payment processor?
Like any other application, testing payment processors involves proper test planning. The following checklist can be helpful for testers and could be used as a reference: 1) Set up payment processor sandbox. 2) Gather test credit card numbers that would be used for testing different credit cards.
Can a live payment be made with a test card?
Live payments cannot be processed if your integration is still using your test keys. Genuine card information cannot be used in test mode. Instead, use any of the following test card numbers, a valid expiration date in the future, and any random CVC number, to create a successful payment. Each basic test card’s billing country is set to U.S.
Why are test IDs used in place of card numbers?
Using these test IDs in place of card numbers helps ensure your production integration is developed in a PCI compliant manner and is not going to handle card information directly. Each test ID is human-readable and represents card information that has been tokenized with our client-side libraries (e.g., Stripe Elements, Stripe.js).
