Testing CCAvenue

Before you go live with CCAvenue and GiveWP it’s always a good idea to test your integration. You will need an active merchant account in order to test with CCAvenue.

2. Ensure Your API Keys are entered properly

From CCAvenue:

Now you’re ready to test your account by doing Live transactions! Please keep in mind that you cannot test CCAvenue by using American Express or JCB credit card and also any of the Net Banking interfaces. Please use Mastercard, Visa, Diners Club or a Citibank eCard to do a test transaction. Also remember that while placing test orders, always put the words “SUB MERCHANT TEST” in the Instructions text box. After the transaction is successful, please log in to your CCAvenue account using your client ID and Password and cancel the test transaction. Please do not capture the transaction as this would constitute a “cash advance” against one’s own cards, which our credit card companies and the payment gateways do not allow on the Internet.
