This Adyen test card has several "applications" programmed onto it that each simulate a specific card brand (payment method), language, country, and currency, and various Cardholder Verification Methods (CVM).
Use this card to make test payments:
- To test a specific application on the test card, use the corresponding currency in your payment request.
- To test different CVMs, use different combinations of transaction amount and currency.
- To test declined payments, use the last three digits of the transaction amount.
You can view the details of test payments in your test Customer Area under Transactions > Payments.
The card simulates Mastercard and Maestro payment methods. To verify that your cash register and terminal are communicating as expected and to test your reconciliation, no other card payment methods are needed. But as an alternative, you can order test card packs from B2PS.
Card applications
Use the table below to see which application on the test card corresponds with the scenario you want to test.
To try a particular application, use the corresponding currency in your payment request. You can also select an application on the terminal: When the terminal shows Present card, insert the card and select the application on the display.
| Application | Payment method | Issuing country | Currency | Expiration date | Locale | PIN | PAN |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MC NL | Mastercard | BE | EUR | 02/28 | Dutch | 1234 | 5413 3300 8909 9999 |
| MS EN | Maestro | BE | EUR | 02/28 | English | 1234 | 6799 9989 0000 0099 990 |
| MC F | Mastercard | US | USD | 02/28 | French | 1234 | 5413 3300 8999 9990 |
| MC ES | Maestro | US | USD | 02/28 | Spanish | 1234 | 6799 9989 0000 0999 991 |
| MSR | Mastercard | US | USD | 12/25 | English | 1234 | 5413 3300 8902 0037 |
Testing CVMs
To test different CVMs, use different combinations of transaction amount and currency.
If you enter a wrong PIN multiple times, the card is blocked and can't be used anymore.
| Application | Amount | Currency | CVM |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC NL | >200.00 | EUR | CVM 1: Enciphered PIN verified online |
| >100 | EUR | CVM 2: Enciphered PIN verified by EMV chip | |
| 0-100 | EUR | CVM 3: Signature | |
| MS EN | >200.00 | EUR | CVM 1: Enciphered PIN verified online |
| >100 | EUR | CVM 2: Enciphered PIN verified by EMV chip | |
| 0-100 | EUR | CVM 3: Signature | |
| MC F | All | All | CVM 1: Enciphered PIN verified by EMV chip |
| MC ES | All | All | CVM 1: Enciphered PIN verified by EMV chip |
| MSR | All | All | CVM 1: Service code 101 - Signature |
For online PIN, with the card inserted in the card reader, the test system will accept any PIN code you enter.
For offline PIN, with the card inserted in the card reader, the transaction will be declined if you enter an invalid PIN.
Simulating declined payments
In general, test payments generate the result Approved. To simulate declined payments, you can change the last three digits of the RequestedAmount that you specify in the payment request.
For example, to test how your integration responds when the issuer suspects fraud, specify an amount with 151 as the last three digits, such as 101.51 or 21.51.
In a classic library integration you can run the same simulations, but the response returns a generic DECLINED_ONLINE posResultCode in most cases. To verify the details of a simulation, you can:
- Check the transaction in the Customer Area.
- Check the raw response in the notification for the transaction.
The following table shows:
- The last three digits of the amount to specify for simulating a specific response.
- The
Result,ErrorCondition,AdditionalResponse.refusalReason, andAdditionalResponse.messagefrom the Terminal API response.
The refusalReason and message are included for additional insight, and should not be coded against. For instructions on how to handle declines, see Declined payments.

Raw responses
In our back end, we receive the payment response from card schemes and issuers. In case of a declined payment, we map the raw response to a combination of ErrorCondition, refusalReason, and message and return this in the Terminal API response.
Raw responses provide additional information, but you don't need to test them because you should not code against them. If you base your failure handling logic on raw responses, that might break your integration because acquirers and issuers sometimes change their raw responses without notice.
If nevertheless you want receive the raw response, you can:
- Set up standard notifications with the additional setting Add Raw Acquirer Result enabled.
- For a Terminal API integration: Configure receiving raw responses.
