Use Sandbox simulations

Use Sandbox simulations to test your integration before going live. You can simulate different checkout scenarios such as payment declines and cart abandonment by selecting specific simulated payment methods during Sandbox checkout. You can also intentionally trigger different API responses by adding simulation strings to your request header.

Note: if you use both simulated payment methods and simulation strings during the same checkout, simulation strings will override any behavior triggered by using a simulated payment method.


Using simulated payment methods

Sandbox test buyer accounts come pre-configured with simulated payment methods. Select a payment method marked with * during Sandbox checkout to simulate a specific payment scenario. You will get an error if the simulation prerequisite has not been met.

Happy case. On the checkoutResultReturnUrl page you will get:

Charge in Authorized state if paymentIntent was set to Authorize

ChargePermission in Chargeable state if paymentIntent was set to Confirm
-
...3064
Checkout Session in Canceled state with BuyerCanceled reason code after the buyer returns to checkoutResultReturnUrl
-
...3434
Checkout Session in Canceled state with Declined reason code after the buyer returns to checkoutResultReturnUrl
-
...0701
Charge will be in AuthorizeInitiated state after the buyer returns to checkoutResultReturnUrl. It will move to Authorized state after 30 seconds based on paymentIntent
You must set paymentIntent to Authorize, and canHandlePendingAuthorization to true on the Checkout Session or using this payment method will result in an error

...4354
Charge will be in AuthorizeInitiated state, when checkoutResultReturnUrl is visited. It will move to Declined state after 30 seconds with reason code HardDeclined
You must set paymentIntent to Authorize, and canHandlePendingAuthorization to true on the Checkout Session or using this payment method will result in an error


Using simulation strings

Add x-amz-pay-simulation-code request header to your API calls to simulate different behaviors. For example, “x-amz-pay-simulation-code = ”BuyerCanceled”. Note that you should not include x-amz-pay-simulation-code request header in the header signature.
