How are Stripe test cards organized by brand and country?

Stripe provides specific test card numbers for different brands (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc.) and countries. Each test card simulates real payment behavior for that specific brand and region, including local payment methods and regulations like SCA in Europe.

What decline codes can I test with Stripe test cards?

You can test various decline scenarios including insufficient_funds, stolen_card, lost_card, expired_card, incorrect_cvc, processing_error, and card_velocity_exceeded. Each scenario uses specific test card numbers that trigger the corresponding decline code.

How do I test 3D Secure (SCA) payments with Stripe?

Use specific 3D Secure test cards like 4000000000003220 for successful authentication or 4000008400001629 for declined authentication. These cards trigger the 3D Secure flow in test mode, allowing you to test Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirements.

Can I simulate Stripe webhook events for testing?

Yes, use the Stripe CLI to trigger webhook events like "stripe trigger payment_intent.succeeded" or "stripe trigger charge.dispute.created". This allows you to test your webhook endpoints without processing real payments.

What's the difference between PaymentMethod IDs and test card numbers?

PaymentMethod IDs (like pm_card_visa) are preferred for server-side API calls as they're more secure and PCI-compliant. Test card numbers (like 4242424242424242) are used for interactive testing in payment forms. Both achieve the same testing results.

Are there special test cards for HSA/FSA payments?

Yes, Stripe provides specific HSA/FSA test cards: 4000051200000072 for Visa HSA/FSA and 5200828282828897 for Mastercard HSA/FSA. These cards simulate Health Savings Account and Flexible Spending Account payment behavior.
