Sandbox and test cards | OrderCard Documentation

Test every outcome in sandbox with the built-in test gateway and test card numbers.

Sandbox is a separate copy of everything: its own keys (oc_pk_test_…, oc_sk_test_…), cards, gateways, transactions and webhook endpoints. It is free and never moves money. Switch with the environment switch at the top of the dashboard.

Use these card numbers with any future expiry date and any security code, except 000, which is always an incorrect code. A past expiry date is declined as expired_card. With the test gateway, each number gives the result below. Live keys refuse all of these numbers, and sandbox keys take nothing else (real_card_in_sandbox_mode), so a real card is never kept in sandbox.

The dashboard lists them too, under Developers → Test cards. Use card next to a card opens Developers → Try hosted fields, the real form with your sandbox key, with that number, a future expiry date and a security code filled in.

Address and security code checks

These succeed, with the check result shown:

Number	Result
`4000 0000 0000 0010`	AVS `N`: street and postal code fail (`no_match`)
`4000 0000 0000 0028`	AVS `Z`: postal code matches, street fails (`postal_only`)
`4000 0000 0000 0036`	AVS `A`: street matches, postal code fails (`street_only`)
`4000 0000 0000 0101`	CVV `N`: the security code does not match

Later steps that fail

Number	Result
`4000 0000 0000 0341`	Authorizes, then the capture is declined.
`4000 0000 0000 5126`	Charges, then the refund fails with `processing_error`.

Numbers that never work

4242 4242 4242 4241 fails the check digit, so the form (and the API) refuse it before it is tokenized.

Your gateway’s own sandbox

To test against a real processor, connect your gateway’s sandbox account in sandbox and use the numbers above; most processor sandboxes accept 4111 1111 1111 1111. Each processor has its own amounts that trigger declines; see their documentation. Results come back with the same OrderCard codes. If your processor’s sandbox needs a number that is not listed here, contact support.
