Use the following test card details to perform a card test:

• Card Number: 4242424242424242
• Expiry Date: 12/25
• CVV: 123

These details are universally accepted for testing purposes and should work across most systems.

4. Conducting the Transaction

With the test card information in hand, proceed to complete a transaction through your payment gateway. This should include adding the test card details to your shopping cart and submitting the transaction.

5. Verifying the Transaction

After submitting the transaction, verify that the test transaction was processed successfully. In Test Mode, you should receive a response indicating a successful transaction.

Key Considerations

It's important to note that test transactions will not result in actual charges to the test card. Additionally, ensure that your system is configured to handle test transactions separately from live transactions to avoid any confusion.
