Simple examples: * **Visa (default):** `4242 4242 4242 4242` * **Alternative:** `4111 1111 1111 1111` Fill in: * **Expiry:** any valid future date (e.g., `12/30`) * **CVC:** any 3 digits (4 for Amex) * **Other fields:** any valid values (name, address, etc.) --- # Finishing the Test After confirmation you’ll see the full order flow: * Simulated payment approval * Order created in the dashboard * Automatic confirmation emails sent (if configured) * This ensures that the entire customer journey is validated before the official launch. ✅ **Tip:** repeat tests with different amounts, cards, and scenarios to make sure there are no issues anywhere in checkout. --- # Test Cards by Brand Use one of the cards below to simulate a successful payment for a specific brand. || ⚠️ Note: Cross-border fees are assessed based on the card issuer’s country. Even in test environments, cards issued outside the US (e.g. JCB and UnionPay) can simulate additional fees. | Brand | Number | CVC | Expiry | | ---- | | Visa | 4242 4242 4242 4242 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | Visa (debit) | 4000 0566 5566 5556 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | Mastercard | 5555 5555 5555 4444 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | Mastercard (2-series) | 2223 0031 2200 3222 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | Mastercard (debit) | 5200 8282 8282 8210 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | Mastercard (prepaid) | 5105 1051 0510 5100 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | American Express | 3782 822463 10005 | Any 4 digits | Any future date | | American Express | 3714 496353 98431 | Any 4 digits | Any future date | | Discover | 6011 1111 1111 1117 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | Discover | 6011 0009 9013 9424 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | Discover (debit) | 6011 9811 1111 1113 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | Diners Club | 3056 9300 0902 0004 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | Diners (14-digit) | 3622 7206 2716 67 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | BCcard & DinaCard | 6555 9000 0060 4105 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | JCB | 3566 0020 2036 0505 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | UnionPay | 6200 0000 0000 0005 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | UnionPay (debit) | 6200 0000 0000 0047 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | | UnionPay (19-digit) | 6205 5000 0000 0000 004 | Any 3 digits | Any future date | --- #
