Simulation

To simulate payment outcomes and trigger webhooks in our Try environment you can send a request prompting our simulator.

You receive a redirect link to our simulator where you can choose different payment outcomes:

Simulator outcome option	Payment status	Description
Pending	`pending`	Pending payment response.
Authorised	`authorized`	Payment authorized successfully.
N/A	`sentForSettlement`	Authorization and capture status will automatically be updated within 15 minutes of authorization.
Cancelled	`cancelled`	Your customer cancelled the transaction.
Error	`error`	Error in processing the payment or the session timed out.

Query the payment to receive the desired payment status.

To test a reversal, a payment must have the status sentForSettlement. Once you send the reversal request, the status changes to sentForRefund.
