ABOUT US

about

What is ONYX GiftCards?

Onyx Gift Cards is a Grenadian company designed to introduce, market and manage gift cards systems in Grenada for retailers and corporations. We are enthusiastic about the effect and influence we will have on the local market. We intend to expand our systems regionally with a range of product offerings and services.

What is a Gift Card?

Gift cards are the preferred way of giving and receiving gifts. They carry a monetary value that can be redeemed for gifts at your favorite store.
Onyx GiftCards are “Open Gift Cards” which means that they can be redeemed at multiple merchant locations. They are standard credit card size, can fit into the average wallet and made of PVC plastic. Onyx GiftCards are Barcoded for security and safety for the consumer and bear a disclaimer at the back.
Onyx Giftcards can be bought with a branded Card backer which is black in colour and is designed to fit the card. There is an area to write a brief message to the recipient as well.

How it Works?

  • Buy an Onyx Gift Card at these local stores
  • Give your gift card to friends, family, co-workers, etc.
  • The recipient can shop at our select merchants nationwide
  • Your friends, family, co-workers, etc. will present their gift card at checkout to pay for your item(s)
  • They will walk away happy with the best gift ever...the gift of Choice

Why ONYX GiftCards?

  • Save TIME. No need to run around looking for the perfect gift
  • Redeem from a variety of business island-wide. We will continue adding businesses as fast as ONYX grows.
  • ONYX Gift Cards do not expire
  • Cards are valued at convinient amounts to meet every need and occasion

CVV test case scenarios are the validation checks a QA team runs against the card verification value field on a checkout form. They confirm the field accepts the correct number of digits, rejects malformed input, follows card brand rules, and never lets an invalid value reach the payment gateway. Testers run these cases in a sandbox with processor-supplied test cards, never with live card data.

What the CVV field has to do

Before writing cases, agree on the behavior the field owes the business. A typical requirement set looks like this:

Core positive test case scenarios

  1. Enter a valid 3-digit CVV with a matching test card and confirm the authorization succeeds.
  2. Enter a valid 4-digit CVV with an Amex test card and confirm the field accepts it.
  3. Change the selected card brand from Visa to Amex and confirm the field length rule updates.
  4. Submit a correct CVV after one failed attempt and confirm the retry path works.
  5. Complete checkout on mobile and confirm the numeric keypad opens for the field.

Negative and boundary cases

Security and compliance cases

PCI DSS treats the CVV as sensitive authentication data and forbids storing it after authorization. Test for that directly. Search application logs, database tables, cache layers, error messages, and third-party analytics payloads for the test value you entered. Confirm the field clears when the user leaves the page, and check that the value is not placed in the URL, a hidden form field, or a client-side session store.

Running the cases safely

Use sandbox credentials and the test card numbers your payment processor publishes. Those numbers trigger specific decline and success codes, including CVV mismatch responses, without touching real accounts. Never test with a live card number, even your own, because the value would then exist in places your production systems do not control.
