Use these details to try payments in a Fortis sandbox (test) account. They work only in the sandbox: never use them in live, and never put real card or bank details into a sandbox.
Card declines and errors are triggered by the payment amount, and address and CVC results by the address and CVC you enter.
How to choose a test result
Section titled “How to choose a test result”- The amount sets card declines and errors (Test Data). Enter it at the checkout as shown in the table, for example
6.16. - The street and ZIP code set the address check result. Set Address Validation in the Fortis connection settings to Enabled, so that the checkout asks for the street and ZIP code; Zip Only asks for the ZIP code only, and with Disabled the checkout doesn’t ask for an address, so the address triggers can’t be used. With Enabled or Zip Only, we ask Fortis to decline a payment whose address check fails, so use the matching address for payments you want approved.
- The CVC sets the CVC check result: enter it in the checkout’s CVC field. For payments the customer makes online with a CVC, we switch on Fortis’s
auto_decline_cvv, so the CVC values marked “Declined ifauto_decline_cvvis turned on” decline. We switch it off for payments staff take over the phone and for payments with a saved card. - For ACH, choose your Fortis ACH product under Transaction Service - ACH in the Fortis connection settings (it’s Disabled until you do).
Use the expiry date 12/27, which Fortis gives for every card, and CVC 999 (1234 for American Express), which Fortis lists as a matching CVC. Fortis doesn’t list Diners Club or JCB test cards.
