Testing Credentials
This section provides test credentials and data for testing various aspects of the Paystand API.
Paystand X sandbox (REST)
Public API docs are validated against the Paystand X dummy merchant in sandbox (https://api.paystand.co/v3). Use Integrations OAuth (Access Token) with scope: auth and your merchant X-CUSTOMER-ID from Dashboard → Integrations.
Known Integrations-token gaps (same merchant, other routes work): GET /fees, GET /fees/{id}, POST /fees/compute, GET /feeSettingPlan/{id}, GET /customers/timezone on some merchants — see What the public API does not support today.
Pre-payment payer fees: call Split Fees with provider: receivable, payerId, and invoiceId (receivable ID), not subtotal alone.
Testing Credit Cards
Use these test card numbers to simulate different payment scenarios:
| Card Number | Notes |
|---|---|
4000000000000077 | Charge will succeed and funds will be added directly to your available balance. |
4242424242424242 | Charge will succeed. |
4000000000000002 | Charge will be declined with a card declined. |
4000000000000069 | Charge will be declined with an expired card. |
4000000000000127 | Charge will be declined with an incorrect cvc. |
4000000000000259 | Charge will succeed and it will later be disputed as fraudulent. |
