These will let you run a test from putting an order through from the front end, without actually using your real credit card.
To create a test order on the front end or the back end of the admin console for testing purposes, the following bogus numbers can be used:
Visa: 4111111111111111
MasterCard: 5111111111111191
Discover: 6011111111111141
American Express: 371110201010004
You can enter any Customer Name, Expiration Date with these test cards.
The CVV will need to be 123.
The gateway will not let the payment go through, so the order will be put into a credit declined status, or awaiting payment depending on your order status settings.
