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.

Razorpay test card details: the short answer

Razorpay test card details are sandbox-only card numbers that Razorpay publishes for developers building checkout, subscription, and payment flows. They work only while your integration runs in test mode. In test mode no bank is contacted, no money moves, and no real account is charged. You do not buy them. You copy them from the Razorpay dashboard or its public documentation, then paste them into your own test checkout.

That distinction matters. A card number that works on a live gateway without the cardholder's permission is stolen data, and using it is a federal crime in the United States under 18 U.S.C. 1029, with parallel statutes in most other countries. No one sells working live card numbers, because the people who hold them do not sell them. Sites that advertise that are either reselling stolen data or running an advance-fee scam. Test cards are a different category of thing entirely: public, documented, and worthless outside a sandbox.

How Razorpay test mode actually works

Razorpay splits every account into test and live environments. Test keys start with a different prefix than live keys, and the two never share data. When you submit a test card, the gateway simulates the response your code would receive from an issuer: an authorization, a decline, a pending state, or a step-up authentication challenge. You then verify that your application handles each branch, including the webhook that follows.

The test card list is organized by outcome rather than by bank. Some numbers always succeed, some always fail, some trigger specific error codes such as insufficient funds or an expired card, and some force a 3D Secure challenge. Pick the number that matches the branch you are trying to exercise.

What to look for when you choose a test card

Sandbox value conventions

Pitfalls that waste developer time

  1. Mixing keys. A test card with a live key produces a real authorization attempt and can trip the account's risk controls.
  2. Hardcoding test PANs into shared configuration. Someone eventually ships that config to production.
  3. Testing only the happy path. Most chargebacks and support tickets come from decline and retry handling, which developers skip in sandbox.
  4. Ignoring webhook signatures. Test mode signs webhooks too, and unsigned handling is the bug that surfaces first in production.
  5. Assuming the test list is static. Gateways add and retire sandbox numbers as networks change rules.

FAQ

Do Razorpay test cards work in live mode?

No. Test PANs are rejected outside test mode, which is exactly why they are safe to publish.

Is it illegal to use a Razorpay test card?

No, they are documented sandbox values with no real account behind them. Using a real card number without the cardholder's authorization is the illegal act, and it is prosecuted.

Where do I get the current list?

From the Razorpay dashboard test mode panel or the official documentation, since the list changes over time.

Can I test CVV failures?

Yes. Razorpay publishes dedicated numbers that return a CVC mismatch so you can verify your error messaging.
