Test Payment Method

Test Payment method allows merchants to check how the payment process works without making real payments.

You can find this method in Payment Systems section of your Project. By default it is deactivated, in order to activate it, please click the On/Off switch so that it becomes On. Also, please activate the countries where you would like to test it using the Countries link.

Availability

By default, Test Payment method is available only if project status is not Live.

This prevents real end-users from using this payment method. In order to load the widget that is mapped to project which status is not Live yet, please log into your merchant account in the same browser session. Alternatively, you can pass evaluation=1 parameter during the widget call (requires widget signature with at least version 2, more details on signature: Signature Calculation documentation).

If the status of your project is already Live, you can always create a new one just for test purposes. Alternatively, you can pass test_mode=1 parameter during the widget call (requires widget signature with at least version 2, more details on signature: Signature Calculation documentation).

If you're using Paymentwall Uni widget (single payment option), you also need to pass ps=test parameter during the widget call.
