Payments testing mimics each step of the payment process to verify that connections, transactions, and paths for communications are working.

A good strategy should detail exactly what information is needed, common flags for problems, and the markers of a successful payment gateway.

Without payments gateway testing, you risk cart abandonment, over or under-payments, penalties, and increased customer support costs.

For many, the most efficient approach to scaling your testing is through a partnership.
