Testing integration

Last updated: 15-May-2023

Overview

We provide an essential testing system to simulate transaction scenarios and functionalities. Use it to ensure your test integration is working as expected before switching to an integration that can make live transactions.

Payment scenarios

Use the scenarios below to test your integration with the simulator terminal. Thus, it allows you to validate your integration without using a physical device.
The test cases will only trigger if you add a header "x-terminal-simulator" and set the value to "true."

Error handling 

To resolve issues with requests, you need to know how Terminal API informs you of the processing status of your request. Check the Response samples object of the API response, which has:

reversalStatus: Provides the status for a response sample.

Note! Applicable for all types of errors.

code: Provides the specific code to represent each error. 
Available codes: "400", "401", "403", "404", "429", "500", "503", "504"

title: Provides error code title.

message: Provides information regarding the error condition.

type: Provides information regarding the error type.

Error condition comparison

The table below provides the required fields for error responses.

Note! In case of a failure, send the request again.

Required fields Error Codes
400 401 403 404 429 500 503 504
Title "Bad Request" "Unauthorized" "Forbidden" "Not Found" "Too Many Requests" "Internal Server Error" "Service Unavailable" "Gateway Timeout"
Message "The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request without modifications." "The request requires client authentication." "The request requires client authorization to access resource." "The server cannot find the requested resource." "The number of requests from this client is restricted to a specified quota." "The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request." "The server is not ready to handle the request. If specified please check the Retry-After for the time period specified for recovery/re-attempt of request." "The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, did not get a response in time from the upstream server that it needed in order to complete the request."
Type “INVALID_REQUEST_ERROR" "AUTHENTICATION_ERROR" "AUTHENTICATION_ERROR" "INVALID_REQUEST_ERROR" "RATE_LIMIT_ERROR" "API_ERROR" "API_ERROR" "API_ERROR"
