Testing and testing cards

Before taking your Tyl by NatWest integration live, it’s crucial to ensure everything works perfectly in a controlled setting. This guide outlines how to set up and test the Tyl by NatWest extension in your WooCommerce store using a development environment. Let’s dive in:

Setting Up for Testing

1. Development Environment: Implement the Tyl by NatWest plugin within a development environment. This is your testing sandbox where you can ensure everything works as expected without affecting your live site.
2. Test Account Configuration: Configure your WooCommerce store to utilise the test account details provided by the Tyl by NatWest team. This is crucial for creating a realistic testing scenario without actual financial transactions.
3. Enable Test Mode: Access the Tyl by NatWest back-office in test mode by visiting https://test.ipg-online.com/vt/login/natwest_tyl. Here, you should enable the test mode within the extension’s settings page to ensure all transactions simulate the live environment without processing real payments.
