Gift Vouchers

Traditional gift vouchers are printed paper gifts available in set values that can be spent in specific stores. Open-loop, semi-open loop, and closed-loop are often terms used when referring to gift vouchers. All gift cards sold via our partners’ websites are closed loop. This means that the gift card can only be spent at a single brand location, for example, an Xbox voucher can only be spent at Xbox etc.

Payment Card Test: Safe Card Flow Testing Guide

A payment card test is a controlled check of a card payment flow, normally run in a sandbox with published test card numbers. A legitimate payment card test verifies form validation, authorization responses, declines, refunds, and webhook handling without touching real cardholder data.

What a payment card test should cover

  • Successful authorization and capture
  • Declines, errors, and timeout responses
  • Refunds, voids, and partial captures
  • Webhook delivery and retry behavior
  • Address verification and security code checks in test mode

Use sandbox test cards, not live card data

Payment processors publish test card numbers for their test mode. These numbers are designed to trigger specific responses, such as approvals, declines, or errors. They are not valid payment cards and must not be used outside the processor test environment. Never test with a real card unless you own it and have written approval from the processor and the merchant.

Keep the test environment isolated

Run payment card test cases in a non-production environment with synthetic customer records. Do not copy production card data into test systems. Use tokenization so your application stores a token instead of a primary account number. Limit access to test credentials and review logs for accidental live-mode calls.

Compliance rules that still apply

PCI DSS applies to systems that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. Test systems can fall in scope if they handle real card data, so the simplest control is to keep real data out. Sensitive authentication data, including CVV, must not be stored after authorization. Buying or selling CVV data is card fraud, not testing.

Common mistakes to avoid

  1. Running live authorization attempts against cards you do not own
  2. Using production card numbers in a test database
  3. Leaving test keys active in a production build
  4. Skipping decline and error paths in test coverage

FAQ

Is a payment card test legal?

Testing your own integration in a sandbox with processor test cards is normal. Testing live cards without authorization is not acceptable and may violate card network rules and law.

Can test card numbers be used on a live site?

No. Test card numbers are for test mode only. A live site needs real payment credentials from the cardholder or an approved token.
