Test Gateway
Place test orders without a live payment processor
The Test Gateway lets you place orders end to end without sending anything to a live processor. Use it to check checkout, offers, subscriptions, and fulfillment before going live.
Setup
- From Settings > Payments, choose Add Gateway
- Select Test Gateway
There are no credentials to enter.
Payment Methods
Cards accepted: Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Discover, and JCB.
Alternative payment methods are not available on the Test Gateway.
3DS2
3DS2 is supported. On the gateway's 3DS card, choose Enable 3D Secure Transactions.
You then set up a 3DS Merchant Profile. It needs your merchant name and the country your business is registered in, plus an Acquirer BIN, Merchant ID (MID), and MCC code for each card network you want authenticated. Your acquiring bank or processing provider issues these values.
See 3DS2 Payments for Optimized 3DS2 and retrying cards that are not enrolled.
Use this gateway to rehearse the authentication flow before switching to a live one.
Test Transactions
Transactions made on this gateway are flagged as test transactions. Filter them out of the transactions list with the Is Test Transaction filter. See Payment Transactions.
Remove or deactivate the Test Gateway before taking live orders, so real checkouts are never routed to it.
Authorize & Capture
Authorizations expire after 7 days. A refund against an uncaptured authorization is sent as a void. See Authorize & Capture.
