Test Guide | Computop Documents

Introduction

Computop Paygate supports testing of your implementation before going live. Three different operating modes are supported.

Please ensure that you only use test data in test mode and live data only in productive / live mode.

Production / Live

Test-System (Downstream)

Simulation

Description

This is the live / productive operation where all payments are forwarded live to the connected service provider (e.g. acquirer, bank, scheme, downstream service provider). These payment transactions are carried out in real life.

In this mode, payment transactions are forwarded to a downstream test system. This is not available for all payment methods and is noted in the corresponding payment method documentation.

In this mode all payment processes within Computop Paygate are simulated.

This mode is available for all payment types.

This mode is always available – even if the payment method has been activated for "live". You can also force a simulation in live operation at any time by assigning the "OrderDesc" parameter with a value such as "Test: <nnnn>".

Further information

Data to use

Only valid productive data

Dedicated test data – see test data overview below

Any "valid" test data (i.e.: Credit card numbers must pass LUHN-check, IBANs must pass IBAN-check, email-address must be syntactically correct)

Reaction / Response

The behavior and responses of the API correspond to live operation.

The behavior and responses of the API depend on specific test data which are documented for the specific payment method.

The behavior and responses of the API depend on the "OrderDesc" parameter, where you specify the desired response code yourself (e.g. "Test: 0000" or "Test: 0305")
