Testing
Saferpay offers an extensive Sandbox, that allows you to simulate transactions, flows and other things, like Mail Phone Order, or the Secure PayGate. When integrating Saferpay, it is very benefitial, to create your own test-account. You can get your own test-account over here.
Everything you need will be sent to you via E-Mail, ncluding things like your test CustomerId, TerminalIds, the login for the Saferpay Test-Backoffice, API user and password etc.
Difference between the Test and Live environments
First and foremost, test and live are completely seperated systems. So everything you do on one or the other, cannot be transferred to the other system, like your transactions or your saved cards. Due to this, it is very important, that you also seperate your data accordingly and keep an eye on which system the data belongs to. If actions are performed with data, that does not belong to the respective system, the action will fail. This is so merchants may not confuse one system, with the other. For example by running on the test environment, whilst thinking they're live.
To reinforce this philosophy, Saferpay will not accept real credit cards on the test environment and vice versa! The test environment uses especially designed test-card, which can be found further down on this page, alongside information about the simulators.
Furthermore, the test environment only runs simulators, that will emulate the behavior of the given payment method. However, no real money will be transferred, of course.
The test environment will behave as closely to the live environment, as possible -aside the above mentioned differences-. To ensure this, every function and every URL is mirrored onto the test environment. For example the live backoffice can be found under https://www.saferpay.com/bo/login, whereas the test backoffice can be found under https://test.saferpay.com/bo/login. You can access any URL, by simply changing the www to test and vice versa. This also applies to API URLs. For example
https://test.saferpay.com/api/Payment/v1/PaymentPage/Initializeandhttps://www.saferpay.com/api/Payment/v1/PaymentPage/Initialize. The JSON-Object structure is the same on both systems, making a switch as easy, as possible.
Simulators and Test cards
Saferpay offers an array of simulators and also connections to certain sandboxes.
In this chapter, you will find every information, you need in order to test and, if needed, activate your desired payment method for testing.
These test payment means only work on the Saferpay Test environment and not on any live-account/the production environment.
On production, you must use youir own, real payment means, like a credit card.
While we generally aim to make the simulators as intuitive, as possible:
They are simulators!
Not all test cases may be available, or are triggered the way you'd expect. All Saferpay Simulators do not connect to real sytems (especially important in cases, where a 3rd party is simulated) and thus do not perform end-to-end tests.
However Saferpay does offer the possibility to connect towards Sandboxes, if a 3rd party provider offers such an environment. Please contact the Integration Support, for information on the availability and how to connect towards a sandbox.
If you have questions, problems or other inquiries, about testing, please contact the Integration Support for help.
Account-to-Account Payments
Saferpay offers an A2A that is controlled via the amount and has the following values.
Authorization
40300tt
Simulates a PENDING authorization, that lasts tt seconds and then results in a successful transaction.
40400tt
Simulates a PENDING authorization, that lasts tt seconds and then results in a declined transaction.
4120000
Results in a general decline.
Refund
8120000
The refund will be declined.
Any other amount may result in a general success.
Please contact the Integration Support, if you want to test Account-to-Account Payments.
Alipay
Please contact the Integration Support, if you want to test Alipay.

Apple Pay
Saferpay does offer an extensive Apple Pay simulator. All test-cases are controlled through the simulator-ui. Unlike production, you do not need an Apple device, or browser, to test Apple Pay!
Please refer to the Activation section, to see, how to activate Applepay on the test-environment.
Note, that the server-to-server method does not use the Saferpay simulator, but instead needs special test-cards provided by Apple, which you can find over here.
Please note: Only the Mastercard PANs are supported at this point!
Bancontact
It may be important to test certain flows and responses, during integration. For that, Saferpay offers the following test cards:
Bancontact uses an authentication-procedure similar to 3D Secure with VISA and MasterCard. However the difference is, that Bancontact will automatically refuse all payments, that aren't fully authenticated. Due to this, there are only these few outcomes possible.

For the Server-to-Server method, you can use our normal test cards in conjunction with our Google Pay Token generator, in order to test GooglePay Server-To-Server, using the normal test-cases, our cards offer you. The generated payment tokens just simply have to be submitted to Saferpay, as described above.

We recommend to use a seperate Project from your Live project! However if you decide to use the same project for both, make sure, that you de-activate Test Mode, once you go live. Otherwise, people will be able to "pay" in your shop, by using test-data!
Test-data will be provided by Sofort, once you have activated the Test Mode.
