Live and test environments

We provide a test environment to enable you to test your site. This test environment operates like a live production environment but no funds are actually transferred when you submit transactions. Accordingly, you will be able to access reports of transaction details and make tests that do not involve your bank or other financial institutions.

You can access the reports and information in the test environment by selecting Switch to Test at the bottom of the Merchant Interface left-hand menu. To revert to the production environment from the test environment, select the Switch to Production option.

When testing

After activation you can switch to Test mode whenever you want, by setting the testMode parameter to a value of 100 or 101. See Test mode for more details.

Warning:  If you accidentally omit the testMode parameter or set the testMode parameter to 0 then you trigger a live payment and revert back to live mode.

Statements and configuration options

Statements and configuration options for all your accounts, for both test and live production environments, can be accessed via the Merchant Interface. All your test transactions will appear in the statement for your test environment and your live transactions will appear in the statement for your live production environment.
