Testing Payments

Test your payment integration with Centrapay test money, the centrapay.nzd.test asset, which behaves like real money but doesn't move any real funds. To test a payment, you act as the customer using the Centrapay wallet, Centrapay's consumer app at app.centrapay.com, where customers hold their assets and pay by scanning a payment QR code. Add test money to your wallet, then use it to pay your test Payment Requests. Any app on the Centrapay platform pays the same way as the Centrapay wallet, so if your integration works with the wallet, it works with all of them.

  1. Create a personal account: Go to the Centrapay wallet at app.centrapay.com, sign up as a customer, and log in.
  2. Enable test assets: Navigate to https://app.centrapay.com/config. Under Features, toggle Test Assets Enabled on, then tap Apply Changes. You'll be redirected back to the wallet page, where a Topup option is now available.
  3. Top up: Tap Topup in the bottom navigation. Select an amount and tap Topup — funds are added to your account instantly.
  4. Pay: Tap Scan, point the camera at a payment QR code, and complete the payment using your test balance.
