Set Up Test Environment

• Access your gateway’s sandbox (test) mode via the merchant dashboard.
  
• Generate test API keys for integration — these are different from live keys.
  
• Enable test configurations on your e-commerce site, mobile app, or checkout page.
  
• Use sandbox plugins for platforms like WooCommerce, Shopify, or Magento.
  
• Secure your test environment with HTTPS to mimic real-world usage.
  

Implement All Payment Options

• Integrate and test all available methods: credit/debit cards, UPI, net banking, wallets, EMI.
  
• Include dynamic currency conversion if using international payment support.
  
• Ensure the payment page is mobile-friendly and loads within 2–3 seconds.
  
• Use test credentials provided by the gateway (e.g., dummy card numbers, UPI IDs).
  
• Validate fallback scenarios like timeouts, incorrect OTPs, and declined transactions.
  

Validate Functional Workflows

• Confirm successful payments update order status and trigger confirmation emails.
  
• Verify failed payments don’t generate new orders or invoices.
  
• Test refund API calls and ensure they update records correctly.
  
• Check whether webhook notifications are received and processed in real-time.
  
• Log all responses and callbacks for further validation and debugging.
  

Review Security and Compliance

• Confirm no sensitive data (card, CVV, OTP) is stored on your server.
  
• Validate that payment flows use secure connections (TLS, HTTPS).
  
• Test fraud checks, OTP flows, and 3D Secure pop-ups.
  
• Check audit logs and logs for transaction tracking.
  
• Run accessibility and screen reader checks for inclusive payment experience.
  

Final Testing Before Live

• Perform end-to-end testing across browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and devices.
  
• Use multiple user roles (guest, logged-in user, admin) to validate access control.
  
• Document all test cases and expected results for internal QA.
  
• Once testing is successful, switch to live mode using production API keys.
  
• Retest critical flows after live deployment to ensure nothing breaks.
