How to test payments in test mode?

As you have followed the steps in our setup guide to configure your Authipay plugin; the next step is making sure that test transactions work. Please keep in mind that you are required to process a few test transactions first so that Authipay can see that you can process transactions to allow you to process live ones.

Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1 Make sure that you are in test mode.

From your WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > AG Authipay  > Manage > set the store status to ‘Test environment’

Step 2 – Create a WooCommerce product.

If you are new to WooCommerce, I would suggest that you take a look at this guide first as this product would be the one that we will be trying to purchase in our test.

Step 3 – Setting up the product.

Edit your product page and scroll down until you see the Product data section. This section would contain the details of the product from its price to its inventory count etc. As we will be processing a test transaction, we can set a regular price for the product.

You can access this section from the:

Note
Product data section > General tab.

Next is to make sure that the Inventory tab > Stock Status is set to In stock.

We don’t want to have taxes/shipping applied once we checkout, so we need to tick the Virtual checkbox.

If you currently have a live WooCommerce store and don’t want your other customers to see this test product, you can set the product to be hidden. Go to the right part of your product page under the Publish section > look for the Category visibility option and click edit.

This would expand, and additional options would appear. Select the hidden radio button and click OK.

Update or publish your changes on your WooCommerce product for the changes to be applied.

Step 4 – Adding the item to the cart

Open an incognito / private window to be accessing your site as a non-logged-in user (as a buyer).
Visit the product page that you have created on the step above and click the button ‘add to cart.’

Step 5 –  Checkout Process

View your cart by clicking the cart icon on your header and clicking Proceed to checkout. Once you are on the checkout page, fill in the required details, and on the credit card section, select the Authipay payment method.


Click Place order, and then you’ll be redirected to Authipay’s payment servers then fill in the credit card details.
At the time of this writing, You can then use the test-card number below to make sure that a transaction fully completes.

4035 8740 0042 4977

Expiry date (mm/yyyy): Any in date

Card verification code: 123

Password: Secret!33

If it does not work anymore, you could contact the Authipay team here- sales@aibms.com. and they’ll be able to supply you with the working ones.

You’ll be asked for the 3D secure password. Use the  Secret!33 and add it to the password field.
Click the Submit button, and then you’ll see the order confirmation page.

Go through the checkout process to order the product, and If the transaction is successful, it will display an ‘order received’ message.
