Expiry date and CVV conventions
- Expiry: use any date in the future, e.g.
12/2030. Test cards do not really expire. - CVV/CVC: any 3 digits for Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Diners and JCB.
- Amex CID: any 4 digits β Amex security codes are 4 digits, not 3.
- Postal/ZIP: some gateways test AVS with specific ZIP codes; check your provider's docs.
*Test numbers are only valid in sandbox/test mode. They have no balance and cannot be used for real transactions. Using card numbers you do not own for fraud is illegal. See our Terms of Service.
