Test cards

Last updated: July 17, 2023

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 formatmm/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.
