Test Mode: simulate payments with Razorpay test credentials

Use Razorpay Test Mode to simulate payments with test card numbers and UPI IDs — no real money is processed, KYC is not required.

Test Mode lets you build and test your Razorpay integration without moving real money. All API behaviour is identical to Live Mode — the only difference is that transactions are simulated.

Use rzp_test_* keys for all Test Mode API calls. You can switch between modes in the Razorpay Dashboard using the Test / Live toggle in the top navigation bar.

Test card numbers

Use the following card numbers when testing checkout flows. Any future expiry date, any 3-digit CVV, and any cardholder name are accepted.

Scenario	Card number
Successful payment	4111 1111 1111 1111 (Visa)
3D Secure success	4111 1111 1111 1111 — enter OTP 1234
Failed payment	4000 0000 0000 0002

Test UPI IDs

Scenario	UPI ID
Successful payment	success@razorpay
Failed payment	failure@razorpay

Switching modes

1. Log in to the Razorpay Dashboard.
2. Use the Test Mode / Live Mode toggle at the top of the page.
3. Generate separate API keys for each mode from Account & Settings → API Keys.

Test Mode transactions never appear in your Live Mode dashboard, and vice versa. Always verify you are using the correct key prefix (rzp_test_* vs rzp_live_*) before going live.
