Step 3: Set up a Transaction Environment

Set your transaction to a 'Test Mode'. This ensures that any transaction made using the test card does not go through a real financial transaction process. You can use the card to simulate authorizations, settlements, and more.

Step 4: Analyze the Response

Upon completing the test transaction, review the response messages to understand if your system processed the transaction correctly. These messages can help identify and troubleshoot any potential issues before going live.
