# Manage test subscriptions ## Overview Import **test** subscription and data from your system or from a third-party and test advanced renewal and upgrade scenarios in the 2Checkout platform. ## Availability Import of test subscriptions is available for all accounts. Contact 2Checkout for additional details. ## Requirements Test subscriptions can be imported only for **eStore** orders. For subscriptions that need to have payment information attached, only dummy credit card data can be assigned. Check [here](/test-your-integration/test-your-integration/test-payment-methods.md) the list of credit cards that can be used for import. ## Import test subscriptions via CSV Import your existing subscriptions in our database, by using a **UTF-8 encoded CSV file** ("Comma Separated Values"). A sample .csv file is provided [here](https://secure.2checkout.com/cpanel/import_licenses.php). ### Without credit card information Import subscriptions including product and customer information by using the instructions from [this](/subscriptions/subscriptions/subscription-management/import-subscriptions-and-credit-card-data.md) article. For subscriptions that don't have payment information assigned, do not send any values in the **CardNumber** and **CardExpirationDate** columns. ### With credit card information Import subscriptions with credit card information assigned by using the instructions from [this](/subscriptions/subscriptions/subscription-management/import-subscriptions-and-credit-card-data.md) article. **Only 2Checkout test credit cards can be used in the import.** Check [here](/test-your-integration/test-your-integration/test-payment-methods.md) the list of credit cards that can be used for import. Cardholder name is composed by using the First name and Last name provided in the import file, as follows: FirstName + " " + LastName. ## Import test subscriptions via API Import your existing subscriptions by using our API capabilities. ### Without credit card information | JSON-RPC | REST | SOAP | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | [Import test subscriptions without payment information](/json-rpc-api-reference/json-rpc-api-6.0/api-requests/subscription-import/add-import-test-subscriptions-without-credit-debit-card-data.md) | [Import test subscriptions without payment information](https://docs.2checkout.com/api-reference/) | [Import test subscriptions without payment information](/soap-api-reference/soap-api-6.0/api-requests/subscription-import/add-import-test-subscriptions-without-credit-debit-card-data.md) | #### With credit card information | JSON-RPC | REST | SOAP | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | [Import test subscriptions with payment information](/json-rpc-api-reference/json-rpc-api-6.0/api-requests/subscription-import/add-import-test-subscriptions-with-credit-debit-card-data.md) | [Import test subscriptions with payment information](https://docs.2checkout.com/api-reference/) | [Import test subscriptions with payment information](/soap-api-reference/soap-api-6.0/api-requests/subscription-import/add-import-test-subscriptions-with-credit-debit-card-data.md) | ## Test subscriptions without credit cards Explore manual renewal and upgrade scenarios with your imported test subscriptions. ### Limitations Automatic renewals (both via Web, and via API) are possible only after our internal cron has executed a renewal for your subscription, and an order has been generated for the imported subscription.
