Troubleshooting form

General Web Dev
1

Hi everyone,

I have a payment form on a web page. The form allows for credit card payments and pay offline payments. If I fill in and submit the form using the pay offline method, an order is created however if I use the credit card method, the order fails and I receive a notification of the failure in the backend of the website. I’ve made some changes to the form and I’d like to test the form to see if the payment will go through but I didn’t want to use a credit card at this point.

Is there a way to use Chrome Developer Tools to to see if a payment will go through successfully without actually entering any credit card details? I just need to simulate the process in order to troubleshoot.

If this is possible, can someone give me directions on how to do this with Chrome and would I have to disable the submit button in order to simulate?

I’d really appreciate any advice.

Depending what payment gateway you are using they probably have a testing facility. Worldpay for example have test details you can put through to test the system works.

Without knowing most of the details its pretty hard to say what will work.

Can you create a product that costs nothing and run that through?

Thanks for the information. They’re using Paypal but I’m not sure how to set up the sandbox - I may need to contact them. I’ll test the $0 product as you suggested.

Thanks again.
