Simulating payments

To confirm that your integration works correctly, simulate transactions without moving any money using special values in test mode.

You will need sandbox access

To test your integration in test mode, where no real money is used you will need access to our sandbox enviroment. To get access to our sandbox environment get in touch with us.

Because of rate limits, we don’t recommend using the sandbox to load-test your integration.

Testing payments with cards

Test cards let you simulate several scenarios:

Successful payments by card brand
Card errors due to declines, fraud, or invalid data

Common mistake

Do not under any circumstance use real card details when testing your integration.

To test a card payment you will need to create a payment via the Dashboard or API, and go to our Contact portal (payment link) to input the card information. It's not possible to start a payment with card via the API.

Type	Value	Description
Successful Visa	4111 1111 1111 1111
Declined Visa	4012 8888 8888 1881
Declined MasterCard	5105 1051 0510 5100
Payment Held	5555 5555 5555 4444	Will withold payment from release.

Testing non-card payments

Testing non-card payments works similarly. Each payment method may have its own special values. To test a non-card payment you will need to create a payment via the Dashboard or API, after that go to our Contact portal (payment link) to proceed with the payment.

Type	Value	Description
PayID		Qualy will generate a sample PayID, a transaction will automatically be generated with the full amount of the payment.
BSB & Account number		Qualy will generate a sample BSB/Acc, a transaction will automatically be generated with the full amount of the payment.
PayTo	Any email, phone number or BSB/Account number	A transaction will automatically be generated with the full amount of the payment.
Direct Debit	Any BSB/Account number	A transaction will automatically be generated with the full amount of the payment.
