Creating Test Account for WORLDLINE

A test account is vital for every payment gateway that you would like to have within your site. This will be the account that you will need to use to test all the possible scenarios within the payment gateway’s process.

Creating a test account for WORLDLINE is fairly easy. Here’s a step-by-step guide that can help you register and set up your test account.

Registration

Update: As of June 6, 2023, merchants/you can now proceed in directly signing up for a WorldLine test account here.

Once you have your test account, the next set of items is done in the WorldLine back office; you can log in to the test account here. Once logged in, you need to navigate to the technical settings area. It is important to note that whatever changes to make in the test account, you must match in the live account.

1. The first step, go to the test creation portal.
   From here, be sure to fill in all the mandatory fields then click on “REGISTER” after doing so. For the appropriate product field, choose Ingenico e-Commerce.You will be redirected to a confirmation page once done where the summary of your data will be shown.

   

2. After the registration, you will receive two e-mails containing the following:• A one-time password for your first login (Subject of the e-mail: “Your password for your test account TEST”)• The unique name of your account (the so-called “PSPID”) you defined on the test creation portal in field “Choose your login name (PSPID)”. The subject of the e-mail would be: “Confirmation of your registration as a test merchant with PSPID XXXX TEST”
