Testing
Use the test values below to test functionality in the Braintree sandbox.
Transaction amounts
When working with transactions, you can pass specific amounts to simulate different processor responses. Each test amount below will trigger the associated authorization response, regardless of the processing currency.
Amount | Authorization Response | Settlement Response |
---|---|---|
0.01 - 1999.99 | Authorized | Settled |
2000.00 - 2999.99 | Processor Declined with a processor response equal to the amount | n/a |
3000.00 - 3000.99 | Failed with a 3000 processor response | n/a |
3001.00 - 4000.99 | Authorized | Settled |
4001.00 - 4001.99 | Authorized | Settlement Declined on certain transaction types with a processor response equal to the amount; Settled on all others |
4002.00 - 4002.99 | Authorized | Settlement Pending on PayPal transactions with a processor response equal to the amount; Settled on all others |
4003.00 - 5000.99 | Authorized | Settlement Declined on certain transaction types with a processor response equal to the amount; Settled on all others |
5001.00 | Gateway Rejected with a reason of Application Incomplete | n/a |
5001.01 | Processor Declined on PayPal transactions in the Mocked PayPal flow with a 2038 processor response. Authorized on all others | n/a on PayPal transactions; Settled on all others |
5001.02 | Authorized | Processor Unavailable on certain transaction types with a processor response of 3000; Settled on all others |
5002.00 and up | Authorized | Settled |

Payment method nonces
In order to simplify testing your server side code, we provide static payment_method_nonce values for you to use in sandbox. Credit card nonces come with a billing postal code already filled in for AVS testing purposes. If you do not want to include a billing address in your testing or if you'd like to use a specific billing address ID instead, use fake-valid-no-billing-address-nonce
.
Collect device data from the client and include the device_data_from_the_client in the transaction.
- Python
result = gateway.transaction.sale({
'amount': '10.00',
'payment_method_nonce': 'fake-valid-nonce',
"device_data": device_data_from_the_client,
'options': {
'submit_for_settlement': True
}
})

Nonce objects
When writing integrations tests against the Braintree sandbox environment, you may also use these nonce objects in place of the nonce that would normally be returned from the client side integration.
- Python
from braintree.test.nonces import Nonces
Nonces.Transactable
Nonces.Consumed
Nonces.PayPalOneTimePayment
Nonces.PayPalFuturePayment
Settlement status
Settlement routes have been exposed to aid with the testing of transactions and the transition between the different statuses. These settlement routes will allow a transaction that has been submitted_for_settlement
to transition to settled
, or settlement_declined
. See the transaction statuses page for additional information on each response.
Example code to change the status of a transaction to settled
:
- Python
result = gateway.transaction.sale({
"credit_card": {
"number": "4111111111111111",
"expiration_date": "05/2010",
"cvv": "100"
},
"amount": "100.00",
"options": {
"submit_for_settlement": "true"
}
})
gateway.testing.settle_transaction(result.transaction.id)
updated_transaction = gateway.transaction.find(result.transaction.id)
assert updated_transaction.status == braintree.Transaction.Status.Settled
Example code to change the status of a transaction to settlement_declined
:
- Python
result = gateway.transaction.sale({
"credit_card": {
"number": "4111111111111111",
"expiration_date": "05/2010",
"cvv": "100"
},
"amount": "100.00",
"options": {
"submit_for_settlement": "true"
}
})
gateway.testing.settlement_decline_transaction(result.transaction.id)
updated_transaction = gateway.transaction.find(result.transaction.id)
assert updated_transaction.status == braintree.Transaction.Status.SettlementDeclined
Disputes
Creating a disputed test transaction
You can use the following test card number in the sandbox to create sale transactions of any amount* that are instantly disputed:
Test Value | Card Type | Description |
---|---|---|
4023898493988028 |
Visa | Creates a settled sale transaction that has a dispute with an open status |
*Some transaction amounts trigger specific dispute behavior in the sandbox; see creating test disputes that require compelling evidence below.
In addition to creating a test dispute, using this test card to create sandbox transactions will allow you to:
- Receive a dispute email notification
- Receive a Dispute Opened webhook (if set up)
- Search for or find the dispute in the Control Panel or via the API
- Respond to the dispute in the Control Panel or via the API with specific evidence that will update the dispute status to won or lost
Creating test disputes that require compelling evidence
The following transaction amounts will set the dispute reason_code
accordingly:
Amount | Dispute Reason Code |
---|---|
83.00 | 83 Visa Fraud |
10.40 | 1040 Visa Fraud |
13.10 | 1310 Visa Fraud |
70.30 | 7030 Discover Fraud |
Creating test disputes for Venmo transactions
When creating a Venmo test transaction with the fake-venmo-account-nonce
payment method nonce, the following transaction amounts will create and set the dispute status accordingly:
Amount | Dispute Status |
---|---|
62.00 | Under Review |
62.01 | Open |
Managing test disputes via the API
To simulate winning or losing a dispute with any reason code via the API:

PayPal One Touch
To make it easier to test out the app switch-based flows for PayPal One Touch on iOS, we created a fake iOS wallet that you can run on the iOS simulator. Clone or download it from GitHub and make sure it's installed on the same simulator you're using for development. To test the One Touch flows on Android, we recommend installing the latest PayPal app on your test device or simulator.
Purge sandbox data
You can purge all of the following data from your sandbox:
- Transactions
- Customers
- Payment methods
- Addresses
- Disputes
- Subscriptions
- Sub-merchant accounts (if you are using Braintree Marketplace)
To purge your sandbox data:
- Log into your sandbox Control Panel
- Click on the gear icon in the top right corner
