For basic guidance on how to test payment gateway integrations within a sandbox environment, see Test payment gateway integration.

Accessing Your Gateway's Test Environment

Some payment gateways provide separate credentials for merchants to access their testing environment, some gateways use the same credentials for testing as for the production (live) environment but direct test transactions to a different URL, and other gateways do a little of both. Verifi provides credentials for their test environment in the Verifi API Documentation under the "Testing Information" section. See "Test Credit Cards and Testing Scenarios" below for more information on how to obtain this document.

Accessing the Gateway Test or Live Environment from Zuora

When configuring the Verifi payment gateway in Zuora, you can indicate whether you would like to use the Verifi test environment or the Verifi live environment.

• If Use Gateway Test Environment is selected, Zuora will direct payment transactions to your Verifi's test environment.
• If Use Gateway Test Environment is not selected (disabled), Zuora will direct payment transactions to the Verifi production environment.

  Your credentials for the Test and Live Environments will be different. Obtain your Test credentials from the Verifi API Documentation (see "Testing Information").

Test Credit Cards and Testing Scenarios

Test credit card numbers and testing scenarios can be found in Verifi's API Documentation (see "Testing Information" on page 32). Zuora Global Support has a copy of this document which we can provide you, however, we recommend contacting your Verifi implementation manager, account manager, or the Verifi Support team for the latest version of this document. This guide provides specific credit card account numbers and data to include in your testing to generate specific gateway responses.

General Testing Information

Integration Testing

Zuora owns and manages the integration to Verifi on an ongoing basis, thoroughly testing the integration with every new release. The Verifi integration documentation is helpful if you are integrating Verifi directly with your website, however, you do not need to perform any integration or certification testing to submit transactions to Verifi via the Zuora application. The intended audience for the integration guides are technical integrators, however, these documents can be helpful to non-technical integrators who can refer to it for information on testing and troubleshooting gateway errors. Integration guides and all necessary documentation are provided to you by your Verifi implementation team.

Performance and Volume Testing

In general, gateway testing environments are intended to give merchants the opportunity to test their gateway and integrations to their gateway, in order to work out any bugs before going to the production environment. Some gateway test environments are shared amongst multiple merchants, and other gateways provide unique testing environments for each merchant. Additionally, gateway test environments (also referred to as certification or sandbox environments) do not have the same high availability or performance capability as production environments. As such, they are not intended for load testing. Merchants performing high volumes of load testing that puts a strain on a shared test environment may receive a warning from the gateway or have their access to the testing environment suspended
