Test payment process

Contents

To test the payment process, you can use the sandbox mode. Sandbox mode is a stand-alone environment that supports all features of a live environment, except real and declined payments. You can access sandbox mode by sending "mode":"sandbox" when you get the token.

Note
Before you sign a contract with Xsolla, testing the payment process is only available in sandbox mode.

In sandbox mode, you can test the payment process with:

Test bank card payment

  1. Open the payment UI in sandbox mode.
  2. Choose the Credit/Debit cards group of payment methods.
  3. Enter the bank card details. Enter any values in the remaining fields. You can also specify incorrect details (card number or expiration date) to generate an error.
  4. Click Pay now.
Test cards list
See the list of test bank cards.
Note

In addition to card details, you need to specify the ZIP code if at least one of the following conditions is true:

  • The user’s country is the US or Canada.
  • The Bank Identification Number (BIN) indicates that a card was issued in the US.

You can specify any valid ZIP code (e.g., 12345). This determines the sales tax rate and does not affect the progress of the test payment.
Sandbox bank card payments can be made in the following currencies: USD, EUR, RUB, GBP, AED, ALL, AMD, ARS, AUD, AZN, BGN, BRL, BYN, CAD, CHF, CLP, CNY, COP, CZK, DKK, DZD, EGP, GEL, HKD, HRK, HUF, IDR, ILS, INR, ISK, JPY, KES, KGS, KRW, KZT, MAD, MDL, MKD, MNT, MXN, MYR, NGN, PEN, PHP, PKR, PLN, RON, RSD, SAR, SEK, SGD, THB, TRY, TWD, UAH, UYU, UZS, VEF, VND, ZAR.
