Why not use a small charge against a real card? A few $1 charges work fine and are cheap enough to ignore.

- billyhoffman 7y agoUntil someone in QA who keeps running that test flow manually says “Wait a minute, my time is valuable!” and scripts the checkout flow in Selenium...
- manigandham 7y agoThat's what the dev/staging environments are for. Even if you run it 3x/day in production, it's less than $100/month. Use a company card and you get the money back too. I don't see enough of a problem that requires all the technical debt to support fake numbers in production.

- sk5t 7y agoI've always had a concern about getting a real card flagged for fraud / card-status-probing and thus locked.
- manigandham 7y agoI've never had it happen and it shouldn't be a problem for occasional spot checks. Make sure everything in dev/staging environments is working first before doing a production run.
