Test and go live

Testing overview

To access the CommWeb payment gateway test simulator, type "TEST" as a prefix to the Merchant ID supplied by your payment service provider. If the Merchant ID supplied already has "TEST" as the first 4 letters, you are already using the test simulator, and your payment service provider will send you another Merchant ID when you are ready to process live transactions.

The test simulator is configured to generate predictable results based on the transaction request and card details you supply.

You can trigger specific transaction responses, e.g. the CommWeb payment gateway Response Code and Card Security Code validation, as well as Address Verification response codes. You can also test features like Wallet functionality.

Commence live payments

After you have tested your integration and received your production merchant ID, you can process live transactions. To move your integration from the test profile to the production profile, you will need to update the following with the new values for your production profile:

• Merchant ID
• API Password

You should perform several live test transactions, using a real credit card, through your production profile, and validate that transactions settle correctly into the expected bank account.

Contact your payment service provider if you need more information on commencing live payments.
