Testing

Before your solution can go live, you must test it and send the results to us. Your account manager will review your payment flow and receipts to ensure that everything complies with the rules and regulations set by the acquirer and the card schemes. The following information is provided to help you make sure that your solution will pass all tests.

Testing the Integration Using Mock Mode
