Razorpay Test Card: Sandbox Card Numbers and Test Mode Guide

A Razorpay test card is a sandbox-only card number that lets you simulate payments inside Razorpay's test mode without moving real money. It is the fastest way to confirm that your checkout, webhooks, and order flow behave correctly before you switch to live keys. This guide explains what test cards are, how they behave, and how to use them safely while building.

Key Features

• Works only in test mode — no funds move and no real account is ever charged.
• Supports success, failure, and pending outcomes so you can exercise every branch of your order logic.
• Covers domestic and international card scenarios, including cards that trigger 3D Secure or OTP steps.
• Pairs with test UPI IDs, netbanking credentials, and wallet flows in the same sandbox.
• Reproducible results — the same card and amount produce the same outcome on every run.
• Safe to share with a team: sandbox values cannot be used in live mode.
• Free to use; no setup beyond a Razorpay account and a generated test key pair.

Materials and Specifications

Test cards are 16-digit numbers issued by the gateway for sandbox use, with standard expiry, CVV, and cardholder fields that follow normal validation rules. Values that pass the Luhn check and match the documented pattern are accepted in test mode. Because these numbers are published openly, they carry no value and cannot be used against real accounts — which is exactly why they are the right tool for development. In production, always collect and process card fields through a PCI-DSS compliant integration rather than handling raw card data on your own servers.

Delivery and Support

This guide is delivered digitally and is available immediately after checkout, with a permanent reference link for later use. Our support team answers questions about sandbox behaviour within one business day, and the reference is refreshed whenever the gateway changes its test data. Refunds are available within 30 days if the guide does not answer your question.

Are Razorpay test cards real cards?

No. They are sandbox-only numbers that work exclusively with test API keys. They cannot be charged, transferred, or used at any live merchant.

Where do I find the current test card numbers?

The authoritative list lives in Razorpay's official test-mode documentation and inside your dashboard's test mode section. Always take the latest values from there, since gateways update or retire test data over time.

Do test cards work in live mode?

No. Live mode rejects them, and live keys should only ever be used with genuine customer payments.
