Payment Providers: Test Payment Provider

---

 

The Test Payment Provider allows you to simulate an end to end transaction as if you were using a real, live Payment Provider. This Payment Provider is for testing purposes only and should not be enabled on a production site.

If you don't have a Payment Provider for your business, you can operate the system in reservation mode only, where no payment is required. You can also operate many of our live Payment Providers in sandbox or test mode, to ensure the booking process is working correctly before going live as a production site.

To use the Test Payment Provider, simply create a test booking and use one of the credit card numbers below to complete your transaction. The Test Payment Provider will accept the following credit card numbers:

American Express: 378282246310005

Diners Club: 30569309025904

The expiry date must be valid (in the future), and the CVC can be any 3 or 4 digit number. To test a failed payment attempt, you can use the CVC 000. You can use the Test Payment Provider from your customer-facing booking page, or internally via "Add Payment".  

 

The Test Payment Provider will override any live Payment Provider you have active in your account. As a result, it is imperative you disable the Test Payment Provider before using your site for production purposes.
