Testing
Learn how to test your integration and simulate purchases.
You can issue cards and simulate purchases using your own Stripe integration in test mode. This allows you to test your integration before you go live without having to make real purchases. You can only use these cards for testing within your Stripe account and not for external purchases.
Use test mode top-ups to fund your Issuing balance before creating test mode transactions.
When testing your authorization endpoint, make sure that you have set the endpoint for test mode in your Issuing settings. Toggle View test data to switch between test and live mode data and settings.
You can simulate a card purchase by specifying authorization details in the Dashboard.
Use the API or Dashboard to create a cardholder and card in test mode.
In the Dashboard, first make sure youโre viewing test data. Go to the Issuing Cards page, find your newly-created card, and scroll to the Authorizations section. Then click Create test authorization.
This modal allows you to specify custom values for the test authorization you want to create.
Click submit to create the the authorization. If youโve configured your synchronous webhook, you can use it to approve or decline. The browser will redirect to the page for the newly-created authorization.
The authorization is automatically captured, and a corresponding transaction is created. You can view more details on the Transactions page in the Dashboard.
