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

What a mock CVV is

A mock CVV is a fake three- or four-digit card verification value. Payment processors publish these values in sandbox documentation so developers can test checkout forms. A mock CVV has no value at a live processor. It cannot authorize a real charge. Use it in a test environment that points at a sandbox endpoint.

Why test values exist

Card networks and processors provide test card numbers with matching mock CVVs. These values let you check form validation, error handling, and response codes without touching real cardholder data. Using real card numbers in a test system violates PCI DSS and card network rules. Keep test data separate from production data at all times.

Prerequisites

How to use a mock CVV in a test flow

  1. Open the payment processor's sandbox documentation and find the test card section.
  2. Copy a test card number and its matching mock CVV from that section.
  3. Set your test environment to send requests to the sandbox endpoint.
  4. Enter the test card number, a future expiry date, and the mock CVV in your test checkout form.
  5. Submit the test transaction and record the response code.
  6. Remove test credentials and test card values from the codebase before deployment.

What not to do

How to keep test data safe

Label test records with a clear prefix such as TEST. Restrict sandbox access to developers who need it. Rotate test credentials when a team member leaves. Review test data in code reviews before merge. These steps reduce the chance that a mock CVV reaches a live payment flow.
