PayByCloud

Before you can run live payments, we require you to run our test cases to make sure that you have correctly integrated against our API.
Note: If you have any issues when you run our test cases, email our integrations team at [email protected].

Before you begin

To help you with testing, we provide you with:
  • Test environment
  • Test cards
  • Test values
You should also review our testing recommendations.

Test environment

Send your requests to our test environment: Test environment base URI: https://api.uat.payroc.com/v1
Important: Use only test cards in our test environment.

Authenticating your requests

Use our test Identity Service to generate a Bearer token to include in the header of your requests. To generate your Bearer token, complete the following steps:
  1. Include your API key in the x-api-key parameter in the header of a POST request.
  2. Send your request to https://identity.uat.payroc.com/authorize.
Note: You need to generate a new Bearer token before the previous Bearer token expires.

Example request

curl --location --request POST 'https://identity.uat.payroc.com/authorize' --header 'x-api-key: <api key>'

Example response

If your request is successful, we return a response that contains your Bearer token, information about its scope, and when it expires. 
{
    "access_token": "eyJhbGc....adQssw5c",
    "expires_in": 3600,
    "scope": "service_a service_b",
    "token_type": "Bearer"
}

Example request header

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <access token>"

Test cards

Important: Use only test cards in our test environment.

Mastercard5413 3300 8960 4111Online or offline

Test values

To return a specific response from the gateway, change the value in the amount parameter to end in one of the following values:
ValueResponseExample
01Declined501
02Referral1002
03CVV failure1403
Any otherAuthorized4541

Testing recommendations

When you test your integration, we recommend that you do the following:
  • Test error scenarios – To check that your integration can handle errors, run scenarios that produce errors. For example, test that your integration can handle the response when the value for a request parameter is in the wrong format.
  • Follow PCI DSS – To help protect the payment data, make sure that your integration complies with PCI DSS.
  • Test all card types – If your integration accepts multiple card types, test your integration with each card type. For example, if your integration accepts EBT cards, you should test with an EBT card.
  • Refresh tokens for authentication – Bearer tokens expire after a fixed period. Test your integration to make sure that it can correctly refresh Bearer tokens.

Test cases

We provide you with test cases for the following:
Note: For some test cases you need to adjust the gateway settings, for example, to display a tip prompt. If you need help to adjust the gateway settings, contact your Payroc Integration Engineer.

Create a payment instruction using options that you configured in the gateway

Step 1. Create a payment instruction

Use our gateway to configure the surcharging options, tip options, and tax amounts.
Note: If you’re unsure about how to configure these options, contact your Payroc Integration Engineer.
Send a POST request to the Devices test endpoint: https://api.uat.payroc.com/v1/devices/{serialNumber}/payment-instructions Example request 
{
    "operator": "jbloggs",
    "processingTerminalId": "1021",
    "order": {
        "orderId": "4fd4-99bc",
        "currency": "USD",
        "amount": 1000,
        "orderBreakdown": {
            "subtotalAmount": 1000
        }
    },
    "customizationOptions": {
        "entryMethod": "deviceRead"
    },
    "autoCapture": true,
    "processAsSale": false
}

Step 2. Retrieve the status of the payment instruction

Send a GET request to the Payment Instructions test endpoint: https://api.uat.payroc.com/v1/payment-instructions/{paymentInstructionId} If the status of the payment instruction is inProgress, our gateway waits up to a minute for the status to change before it returns a response. Send GET requests until the value for status changes to completed.
Note: If the status of the payment instruction is failed or canceled, contact your Payroc Integration Engineer.
Example response 
{
  "paymentInstructionId": "3743a9165d134678a9100ebba3b29597",
  "status": "completed",
  "link": {
    "rel": "payment",
    "method": "GET",
    "href": "https://api.payroc.com/v1/payments/DD6ZDQU7L2"
  }
}

Step 3. Retrieve the status of the payment instruction

Send a GET request to the Payment test endpoint: https://api.uat.payroc.com/v1/payments/{paymentId} Use the paymentID that you received in the response from Step 2. Example response 
{
    "operator": "XYZ",
    "terminal": 1021,
    "order": {
        "orderId": "4fd4-99bc",
        "description": "Payment Instruction",

            "surcharge": {
                "bypass": "true"
            },
            "taxes": [
                {
                    "name": "TAX10",
                    "rate": 10.0
                }
            ],
            "tip": {}
        }
    },
    "customizationOptions": {
        "entryMethod": "DEVICE_READ"
    },
    "customer": {
        "name": "First Last",
        "dateOfBirth": "2023-01-01",
        "referenceNumber": "ABCDEFGH",
        "billingAddress": {

        },
        "shippingAddress": {
            "name": "shipping recipient name",
            "line1": "shipping Addr Line1",
            "line2": "shipping Addr Line2",
            "city": "shipCity",
            "state": "AZ",
            "country": "US",

            "subtotalAmount": 12100,
            "surcharge": {
                "bypass": "true"
            },
            "taxes": [
                {
                    "name": "TAX10",
                    "rate": 10.0
                }
            ],
            "tip": {
                "percentage": 10,
                "type": "PERCENTAGE"
            }
        }
    },
    "customizationOptions": {
        "entryMethod": "DEVICE_READ"
    },
    "autoCapture": true,
    "processAsSale": false
}

Step 2. Retrieve the status of the payment instruction

Send a GET request to the Payment Instructions test endpoint: https://api.uat.payroc.com/v1/payment-instructions/{paymentInstructionId} If the status of the payment instruction is inProgress, our gateway waits up to a minute for the status to change before it returns a response. Send GET requests until the value for status changes to completed.
Note: If the status of the payment instruction is failed or canceled, contact your Payroc Integration Engineer.
Example response 
{
  "paymentInstructionId": "3743a9165d134678a9100ebba3b29597",
  "status": "completed",
  "link": {
    "rel": "payment",
    "method": "GET",
    "href": "https://api.payroc.com/v1/payments/DD6ZDQU7L2"
  }
}

Step 3. Retrieve the status of the payment instruction

Send a GET request to the Payment test endpoint: https://api.uat.payroc.com/v1/payments/{paymentId} Use the paymentID that you received in the response from Step 2. Example response 
{
  "paymentId": "DD6ZDQU7L2",
  "processingTerminalId": "1021",
  "operator": "Postman",
  "order": {
    "orderId": "4fd4-99bc",
    "dateTime": "2023-07-26T16:42:25.018Z",
    "description": "Example payment",
    "amount": 1000,
    "currency": "USD"
  },
  "customer": {
    "shippingAddress": {}
  },
  "card": {
    "type": "MasterCard",
    "entryMethod": "keyed",
    "cardNumber": "500165******0000",
    "expiryDate": "0328",
    "securityChecks": {
      "cvvResult": "M",
      "avsResult": "Y"
    }
  },
  "transactionResult": {
    "type": "sale",
    "status": "ready",
    "approvalCode": "OK3",
    "authorizedAmount": 1000,
    "currency": "USD",
    "responseCode": "A",
    "responseMessage": "OK3"
  }
}

Create a refund instruction for when the card isn’t present

Step 1. Create a refund instruction

Send a POST request to the Devices test endpoint: https://api.uat.payroc.com/v1/devices/{serialNumber}/refund-instructions Example request 
{
    "operator": "jbloggs",
    "processingTerminalId": "1021",
    "order": {
        "orderId": "4fd4-99bc",
        "currency": "USD",
        "amount": 1000
    },
    "customizationOptions": {
        "entryMethod": "manualEntry"
    }
}

Step 2. Retrieve the status of the refund instruction

Send a GET request to the Refund Instructions test endpoint: https://api.uat.payroc.com/v1/refund-instructions/{refundInstructionId} If the status of the refund instruction is inProgress, our gateway waits up to a minute for the status to change before it returns a response. Send GET requests until the value for status changes to completed.
Note: If the status of the refund instruction is failed or canceled, contact your Payroc Integration Engineer.
Example response 
{
  "refundInstructionId": "3743a9165d134678a9100ebba3b29597",
  "status": "completed",
  "link": {
    "rel": "refunds",
    "method": "GET",
    "href": "https://api.payroc.com/v1/refunds/DD6ZDQU7L27"
  }
}

Step 3. Retrieve the status of the refund instruction
