# 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](https://dashboard.razorpay.com).
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**.

<Note>
  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.
