Testing payments in the sandbox

In our sandbox you can make test payments using all available payment methods. We designed a special web interface that simulates a behavior of a payment method. It replicates a communication with a supplier as accurately as possible. You can find all necessary information and procedures in this article of how to test payments with our sandbox.

Our tip:

Please set your test credentials of payment gateway to your e-shop system and make test payments for orders in customer's point of view. Statuses of test payments should correspond to statuses of orders in your system.

You can make test payments from any domain.

If you are a new client we will provide you test credentials after registration process.

You can perform all the operations with fictitious cash within the sandbox environment. Please don’t allow your customers to access the GoPay payment gateway sandbox environment.

Please note that the test environment is limited and some payment methods can not be simulated, such as Apple Pay.

Testing payment cards

We have prepared a set of test payment cards to test your payments. The result of the payment depends on the payment's amount.

GoPay tip: As a CVV / CVC code you can enter any 3 numbers, e.g. 123 and as an expiration date you can enter any date in the future, e.g. 03/28.

Testing Premium SMS

Test payments via Premium SMS requires sending SMS in a GP format.

Fictional SMS can be sent via our web interface. For more details please see below. At the point of sale a payment should be marked as paid within a few minutes after sending a test SMS.

If a payment gateway requires a verification code please use the code below.

Test scenario
