Test cards

Card numbers to simulate sandbox payment scenarios with Bolt Payments and other processors.

View As MarkdownMCP

Use these card numbers in sandbox to test payment and risk outcomes. Start with the generic cards, then use the section for your payment service provider (PSP) when you need a processor-specific result.

  • The full card number must match for post-authorization processes.
  • Only the last 4 digits are used in pre-authorization rejections.
  • Any card that ends in 0001 is rejected in pre-authorization.

Generic test cards

Use these values unless your PSP-specific section says otherwise:

  • Expiration: Any month/year in the future
  • CVV: Any 3 digits
  • Type: Visa

Verify a test

  1. Complete checkout in sandbox with the card for the result you need.
  2. Open Transactions in the sandbox Merchant Dashboard.
  3. Find the test transaction and compare its status with Expected risk results.

Expected result: The transaction reaches the documented sandbox status for the card and PSP you used.

Additional testing resources by PSP

Most PSPs offer their own test cards. Bolt cannot guarantee the effectiveness of third-party test cards. We recommend that you use our generic test cards.
