Test cards

Last updated: July 3, 2024

Use the test cards provided to test response code outcomes and simulate different payment flows. We provide test card numbers for:

credit cards
debit cards
prepaid cards

Note

Do not perform tests using real card numbers or card details in your sandbox environment.

To use the test cards, set up a card payment request with:

the card value listed in the table alongside the response code you want to test
any valid three-digit CVV for Visa and Mastercard cards, or a four-digit CVV for American Express cards
any future date as the card expiry date, in the format MM/YY or MM/YYYY

Information

The sandbox environment stores payments for 30 days. You’ll need to complete any test payment flows within 30 days of the payment creation date.

Use the following test cards to simulate a subset of our API response codes.

Use these test cards to simulate different 3D Secure (3DS) authentication flows and results.

You can use:

any valid CVV (for example, a three-digit number for Visa and Mastercard, a four-digit number for American Express)
any future expiry date, in the format MM/YY or MM/YYYY

If your 3DS authentication test is challenged, and you're redirected to the 3DS simulator page, you will need to input the password Checkout1!.

All cards listed on this page can also be used as valid network tokens.

The following cards are not enabled for 3D Secure. This means if you send a payment with 3ds.enabled: true, you should expect the response code 20150 and the response summary Card not 3D-Secure enabled. Learn more about response code testing.

To simulate card verification, use the following cards. If you set amount to 0, the card verification will be successful. If amount is greater than 0, the authorization request will be declined with the corresponding response code. Learn more about card verification.

You can simulate the process of performing a payment with an expired payment instrument, and then reattempting the payment after updating the payment instrument details.

Create a payment instrument using one of the following test card numbers and set the expiry date to any date in the past:

Scheme	Card type	Card number	CVV
Visa	Debit	`4532446037926437`	Any three-digit number
Mastercard	Debit	`5287286878576972`	Any four-digit number

Request a payment using the payment instrument. The payment will fail with a 20054 response code due to the card being expired.
Update the payment instrument and set the new expiry date to any date in the future. In a live environment, you'd need to contact your customer and ask them to provide updated payment details.
Request a payment using the updated payment instrument. The payment will succeed with a 10000 response code.

Use the following consumer debit test cards to simulate different response code outcomes for a payout:
