What is a Test payment?

circle-info

Test payment is a simulated transaction created in a test environment to verify that payment flows, integrations, and system behaviour work correctly.

The process of creating a Test payment differs slightly from the standard flow. Its main purpose is to verify that the system functions correctly, ensuring features such as payment processing, notifications, and error handling work as expected. Since no real funds are involved, the test mode provides a safe environment to simulate and evaluate different scenarios.
