E-commerce Credit Card Testing
Posted: August 21, 2009 » by Lead Architect » in E-commerce; Tips and Support
If you are accepting credit card payments from your web site and need to test the transaction process, the credit card companies provide the following “test card numbers.”
Test Credit Card Numbers:
Visa: 4111-1111-1111-1111
MasterCard: 5431-1111-1111-1111
Amex: 341-1111-1111-1111
Discover: 6011-6011-6011-6611
Credit Card Prefix Numbers:
Visa: 13 or 16 numbers starting with 4
MasterCard: 16 numbers starting with 5
Discover: 16 numbers starting with 6011
AMEX: 15 numbers starting with 34 or 37
Use these numbers instead of a real account number to avoid a possible security issue and of course, a possible charge to your real credit account!
