Testing Payments

How to test payments in games under development.

Testing payments in Pley Payments is easy and cost-free using sandbox mode and test cards in the Game Manager. This allows you to test purchases without real payment methods or filling out banking/tax forms until you're ready to publish.

Testing Payments

1) Launch a build (not release track) in the Pley Game Manager under builds.

2) Trigger a payment in-game.

3) Enter a sandbox test card (listed below). Look for Sandbox payment in the checkout modal. Alternatively, use a testing payment card with Google Pay.

4) Complete the payment.

Sandbox Testing Cards

Card Type	Card number	Exp. date	CVV/CVC
Consumer Visa, Netherlands	4111 1111 1111 1111	3/30	737
Consumer Mastercard, Great Britain	5555 4444 3333 1111	3/30	737
ExpressPay Credit, China	8171 9999 2766 0000	10/30	737
Discover, US	6011 6011 6011 6611	3/30	737

Name & country can be anything; they don’t impact the test.

Testing on Production/Release
Testing payments on release tracks (e.g., Production) requires real payment methods, not test cards.

Response

Sandbox purchases mark entitlements with "in_sandbox": true in the JSON response for easy backend tracking. This can be used if you want different behavior for sandbox purchases.


  {
    "entitlement_id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "product_id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "in_sandbox": true
  },
    ...

Keeping track of payments
Sandboxed transactions from in the Game Manager isn't tracked and they will not be part of the Sales reports.
Making test-payments will not affect any data or reporting.
