Payment Gateway Test Card Numbers
To use the test gateway for training or testing, a test card number must be used.
(Please note, that when testing an ActivePay telephone payment solution in a live situation, any valid payment card can be used.)
The following test/dummy card numbers will be accepted by the system:
Card Type | Dummy Card Number |
Mastercard | 5100 0800 0000 0000 |
Visa | 4917 6100 0000 0000 |
Maestro | 6759 6498 2643 8453 |
American Express | 3700 0020 0000 000 |
To test the various gateway responses, the transaction value can be used to determine how the test gateway responds.
The £ element of the value defines the delay taken for the gateway to respond. This replicates the various delays expected when communicating with remote systems:
Value £'s | Delay |
£10 | 1 second |
£20 | 2 seconds |
£30 | 3 seconds |
£600 | 1 minute |
£1200 | 2 minutes |
The pence element of the transaction value defines whether the transaction is authorised:
Value pence | Transaction Status |
0p to 9p | Authorised |
10p to 19p | Declined |
20p to 29p | Failed Validation |
30p to 39p | General Error |
