Can I place a test order?

Modified on Wed, 24 Dec, 2025 at 11:04 AM



Users assigned the Administrator role can place test orders by selecting the Test Payment Gateway on the checkout page. This option is only available if a test payment gateway has been configured.


If you have not yet set up a test payment gateway, please refer to the relevant FAQ for setup instructions.


Test Card Details

Use one of the following card numbers to make a test payment in the UK:

  • 4000 0082 6000 0000

  • 4000 0582 6000 0005

  • 4000 0025 0000 3155
    (Test Strong Customer Authentication – use ZIP code 90210)

For all test payments:

  • Enter an expiry date in the future

  • Use any number for the CVC

  • Enter a valid UK postcode or US ZIP code, depending on the card used



Viewing Test Orders

Test orders can be viewed in My Account > Orders, where they are clearly marked as test orders with a tick icon.


Administrators can also view all test orders placed by other administrators by navigating to Reports > Orders, then selecting Show Test Orders from the Manage menu.


Most reports include a Show Test Orders option, allowing test data to be easily identified and reviewed.




Emails and Tickets

An order confirmation email is sent to the customer for test orders, with test tickets attached, just as with live orders.
