Manage test merchants
Test merchants allow you to simulate merchant interactions with your application. This includes installing your app, granting it needed permissions (see App Permissions), and then testing all the features of your app. These types of merchants are non-billable.
Create your first test merchant
When you sign up to create your production or sandbox developer account, you can create a test merchant after entering your developer and account information. Use the following table to complete the test merchant information. From the Developer Dashboard header, create test merchants, navigate between test merchant dashboards, and manage your dashboard login credentials.
- Manage test merchant accounts: From the header menu, you can create multiple test merchant accounts, and also toggle between them.
- Account settings: At the top-right of the Developer Dashboard, you can click Web > Account Settings to view and manage your dashboard login settings.
NOTE
A specific payment gateway is configured based on the address you enter. For example, if you are a US developer who wants to create an app for use in Canada, create your test merchant using a Canadian address. This test merchant will process test transactions using the correct gateway for that region.
You can also create additional test merchants for each region where your app will be available.
