# Testing

Our test mode allows you to simulate transactions with various [payment providers](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/account/payment-providers).

## Preparation

Before you can start testing, you need a verified Payrexx account and at least one configured [payment provider](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/account/payment-providers).

* [Sign up](https://signup.payrexx.com/) for Payrexx (the trial subscription is sufficient for testing purposes) or [log in](https://login.payrexx.com/) to your existing Payrexx account.
* Complete the [account verification](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/the-first-steps/account-verification) process and wait for the confirmation of successful verification.
* Set up either [Payrexx Pay](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/payment-provider/payrexx-pay), [Payrexx Pay Plus](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/payment-provider/payrexx-pay), or one of the [external payment providers](https://login.payrexx.com/).
* Navigate to **Payment providers** and click on "Configure" for the desired payment provider:

Change the value in the "Mode" field from "Live" to "Test" and save your changes:

## Selection of the Payrexx Tool

The easiest way to test is to use the [terminal](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/account/tools/terminal). However, you can also test with any other [Payrexx tool](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/account/tools). It is best to choose the tool you use or will use most frequently.

When the payment provider is in test mode, a corresponding message will be displayed, and the payment methods will be labeled "TEST":

## Refunds in Test Mode

Test payments made via credit card, TWINT, PostFinance Pay, etc., can also be refunded in test mode.

## Test Cards in the Gateway for Test Payments

When a payment provider is in test mode, the test cards will be visible in the gateway, allowing you to simulate payments. This way, you can test the payment process without having to conduct real transactions:
