Google Pay test orders

Overview

You can simulate both successful and failed Google Pay payments by controlling the outcome through the order amount. Simulation is automatically activated when the DOTEST=1 parameter is present on the order — no additional configuration is required.

Important! Test orders never reach the live gateway.

Trigger amounts for error simulation

Enter one of the amounts below to trigger the desired scenario. Any other amount returns a success.

Amount (USD)	Simulated scenario	Message shown to the buyer
$0.01	Card declined	Generic "payment failed" message + retry CTA
$0.02	Insufficient funds	Friendly insufficient funds message
$0.05	Do not honor	"Your card was declined"
$0.07	Stolen card	Generic "payment failed" message (actual reason is never revealed)
$999.00	Amount too large	Amount-specific error message
$9,999.99	Transaction not allowed	Message with support contact hint
Any other amount	Success	"Thank you" page

Trigger amounts also work in NOK and SEK — USD is the recommended currency for testing.

Payment flow

Successful payment

1. Fill in the cart with an amount not listed in the error table above (e.g. $10.00).

2. Click the Buy with Google Pay button.

3. You are redirected to the Google page — sign in with your Google credentials.

4. Click Next, select a card, and click Pay.

5. You are redirected to the Thank you page — the test order has been recorded.

Simulated error payment

1. Fill in the cart with one of the trigger amounts from the table above (e.g. $0.01 for card declined).

2. Click Buy with Google Pay and complete the Google authentication.

3. After processing, you are redirected back to the checkout page with the corresponding error message.

4. The cart and session are preserved — you can retry immediately with a different amount.

Notes:

• The $0.07 scenario (stolen card) always displays a generic message regardless of template — the actual decline reason is never exposed to the buyer.

• Zero-value orders placed with Google Pay TEST always return success (FK_AUTH_SUCCEEDED), regardless of the amount entered.
