Performing the Required Certification Tests
You are required to complete a number of certification tests prior to submitting real transactions to the Worldpay production system. This testing process allows you to verify that your system not only submits correctly formatted transaction data, but also correctly parses the data returned to you in the response messages. To facilitate the certification process, Worldpay established a certification environment that simulates the production environment.
To determine the final status and response Code of a declined or duplicate transactions, please refer to the Declined Transaction Report in the Worldpay eComm iQ. Once in the production environment, you can also obtain this daily report via Secure Scheduled Reports.
During certification testing, a Worldpay Implementation Consultant will guide you through each required test scenario. For each transaction type specific data is supplied that you must use in your cnpAPI transactions. Use of this data allows the validation of your transaction structure/syntax, as well as the return of a response file containing known data.
The test data supplied does not account for all data fields/XML elements in a particular request. Where data is not supplied, you should provide appropriate information. You should never override your own system to enter supplied data. If you are unable to enter the supplied data without overriding your system, please consult your Implementation Consultant concerning the test and how to proceed.
Never use the supplied test data in the production environment.
