After the integration, a Pay button will appear on your web page/app. You need to click the button and make a test transaction to ensure the integration works as expected. You can start accepting actual payments from your customers once the test is successful.
You can make test payments using one of the payment methods configured at the Checkout.
- No money is deducted from the customer's account as this is a simulated transaction.
- Ensure you have entered the API keys generated in the test mode in the Checkout code.
You can select any of the listed banks. After choosing a bank, Razorpay will redirect to a mock page where you can make the payment success or a failure. Since it is the test mode, we will not redirect you to the bank login portals.
You can enter one of the following UPI IDs:
success@razorpay: To make the payment successful.failure@razorpay: To fail the payment.
Handy Tips
You can use Test Mode to test UPI payments, and Live Mode for UPI Intent and QR payments.
