It provides two fake payment methods that simulate real checkout behavior without processing any actual payments. #### Sandbox Credit Card Accepts any valid credit card number with Luhn algorithm validation, expiry date checks, and CVV verification. #### Sandbox ACH / eCheck Accepts check name, routing number (9 digits), and account number (4-17 digits). Successful payments are placed on-hold to simulate real-world eCheck verification. #### Simulating a successful credit card transaction Use any valid credit card details (e.g. card number 4111111111111111). #### Simulating a failed credit card transaction Use card number 4929000000022 with a valid expiry and CVV. #### Simulating a successful eCheck transaction Use any valid 9-digit routing number and 4-17 digit account number. #### Simulating a failed eCheck transaction Use routing number 000000000 with any valid account number. #### Refunds Both gateways support refunds from the WooCommerce admin order page. Since payments are simulated, refunds simply log a note on the order. #### Development The development of this plugin happens at [GitHub](https://github.com/webmonk/sandbox-payment-gateway).

Upload `sandbox-payment-gateway` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install directly from the WordPress plugin directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments to enable Sandbox Credit Card and/or Sandbox eCheck. ## FAQ ### Can I test with real credit cards? Yes. No charges will be made as payments are fully simulated. ### What status do eCheck payments receive? Successful eCheck payments are set to “on-hold” to simulate the real-world verification period. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9ebb94ca5c0c1b25b66b478927e9e48a20fa259f81cb5a83e5366cb6cbc8367c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Useful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/useful-846/)󠁿 [webmonk](https://profiles.wordpress.org/webmonk/) Est 30, 2021 Useful plugin.
