Test card numbers | Simplify Payments for Developers (2024)

Intro

When testing your integrations with Simplify Commerce in Sandbox mode, you are prohibited from using real card numbers. As such, we provide a list of test card numbers which can be used to test various transaction and validation states

Please note:
  • Real card numbers are prohibited and will decline in Sandbox mode.
  • Strip spaces & trim card numbers before use.
  • All transaction amounts used are in the smallest unit of your currency. Example: 513 = $5.13USD
  • 5555 5555 5555 4444 is the simplest card number to use when testing APPROVED payments.
  • Changing accepted cards in Merchant Settings will affect the behavior of the test card numbers.

Fraud

Once you have been onboarded with Simplify Controls, these tests cards can be used to test fraud responses in Sandbox mode:

Card Number Response
5506 9274 2731 7625
Causes fraud status to be APPROVED.
5506 9208 0924 3667
Causes fraud status to be UNDER REVIEW and will trigger one of the rules defined in merchant settings.
5506 9224 0063 4930
Causes fraud status to be DECLINED and will trigger all of the rules defined in merchant settings.

When testing transactions for fraud, the transaction amount is used to define the country and the fraud score:

  • The whole number represents the ISO 3166-1 numeric code for a country, for example 4=Afghanistan, 250=France, 356=India, 372=Ireland, 643=Russian Federation, 826=United Kingdom, 840=United States.
  • The fractional part of the value represents the fraud score.
  • For example, a transaction value of $840.88 would be used to test a transaction originating in the US returning a fraud score of 88.
