Test card numbers

United States

Canada

Europe

Merchants can use the following card numbers to trigger specific scenarios at the gateway, such as declines and partial transactions. A gateway needs to be setup with a Rapid Connect processor, which must be the default setting. Verify this setting by calling the GET v3/merchants/{mid}/gateway endpoint and confirm that the paymentGatewayApi value begins with fdcrcip. If the value is blackhole, email [email protected] to request this be changed to Rapid Connect.

You may use any 3 digits for the Card Verification Value (CVV) and any future date for the expiration.

NOTE

The Ecommerce API declines partial auth transactions. In the above list, the Visa test card number for partial amount approvals will be declined.

Simulate successful transactions

In test mode, you can use the following test cards to simulate a successful transaction.

Visa (debit)4000 0566 5566 5556

NOTE

By default, passing address or Card Verification Code (CVC) data with the card number results in the address and CVC checks to succeed. If not specified, the value of the checks are null. Any expiration date in the future is considered valid.

Ecomm test cards for AVS success scenarios

To test Address Verification Service (AVS) success scenarios, use one of the following test card numbers with any U.S. zip code:

Ad hoc tests

In addition to the Unit and Certification test scripts in your software development kit (SDK), Clover has established functionality that allows you to create your own test cases. The following test card examples are provided for this purpose and should only be used with the Test Merchants generated as part of their developer account in the Clover sandbox environment.

Test for all cards

Transactions in the amount of $45.67 receive a No Host Response to simulate time-out reversal testing. Therefore:

  • Transactions below $100.00 receive an Approved response.
  • Transactions above $100.00 receive a specific Error response.

The transaction amount sent in the transaction request message is used to determine which error response code will be received in your response. To request an error response code, the last 3 digits of the transaction amount is the response code you want to receive. For example:

  • If you need to receive a response message with a 116 response code, then the request message could contain a transaction amount of $101.16.
  • If you need to receive a response message with a 318 response code, then the request message could contain a transaction amount of $403.18.
