Frequently asked questions
Does a valid result mean the card is real?
No. It only means the numbers are correctly formed. It cannot tell whether the card exists, has funds or belongs to anyone.
Should I enter my real card details?
There is no need. Use published test numbers, which are provided by payment processors for this purpose, and keep real card details for checkout pages you trust.
