Emulation

Emulation features are only available in Sandbox environment.

Tip – You can also rely on webhooks

For operations that cannot be emulated in the Sandbox, webhook examples are provided.

Card Transactions

You can emulate CardTransactions using the following request.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description
publicToken	string	The public token of the Card to use for the Card Transaction.
transLink	string	A unique reference used to associate the Card Transaction with a paymentId. Must be 100000000000000 or higher.
paymentStatus	string	The type of CardTransaction, which for simulation purposes can be A or S. See list of values.
date	string	The date of the CardTransaction, as seen in the authorizationIssuerTime attribute.
amount	float	The amount of the CardTransaction, as seen it the paymentAmount and paymentLocalAmount attributes.
mcc	string	The Merchant Category Code for this CardTransaction, allowing you to check your Card MCC restrictions.
merchantId	string	The Merchant's ID for this CardTransaction, allowing you to check your Card MID restrictions.
merchantName	string	The name of the merchant.

Tip – You can emulate a complete flow

To emulate a complete flow, set a paymentStatus = A followed by a S while specifying the same transLink for both requests.

Learn more about the different transaction flows in the Transaction examples article.

Request

CURL

curl -X POST {baseUrl}/simulation/cardtransactions \
	--header 'Authorization: Bearer {accessToken}' \
	--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
	--data-raw '{payload}'

Here is a {payload} example:

JSON

{
	"publicToken": "103020378",
	"date": "2022-02-12 13:00:00",
	"amount": 15.90,
	"mcc": "8574",
	"merchantId": "3256",
	"merchantName": "Merchant Name",
	"paymentStatus": "A",
	"paymentCode": "100000000000004"
}

The request returns a 201 HTTP Status Code without any content and sends a cardtransaction.create webhook.

Note – Disclaimers about this emulation

• No impact on Wallet Balances: A balance.update webhook is sent, but values are set to 0.
• No refunds and negative amount settlements support yet.
