How Do You Create Credit Card Number Test Data?

You can use these card numbers to test transactions for testing purposes only. These card can be used to test the authorization, capture, and credit services. When using test cards, you can specify an expiry date up to five years in the future and any 3 digits for the CVV code. You can check with your payment gateway provider for cards numbers that trigger specific error codes to simulate different types of transactions.

All credit card numbers are divided into 3 parts:

• Issuer Identifier – 6 digits to identify the issuer of the card.
• Account Number – 6 to 9 digits to identify the individual account number.
• Check Digit – 1 digit computed as a checksum of the Issuer Identifier and the Account Number based on Luhn algorithm.

Expiration Date must be a valid date in the future (use the mmyy format).
CVV number can be any 3 digits (ie: 123, 654, etc).

For example, credit card number “4532 2937 2616 5731” consists of:
“4532 29” – Identifies a Visa partner as the issuer.
“372616573” – Identifies the holder’s account number.
“1” – Gives the checksum number.
