Card Activities Simulation

Using the Card Simulator, it is possible to create test transactions against cards created in Sandbox, meaning that you will be able to see the results from the View card activities API.

First, you'd like to create a card authorization using Create an Authorisation for a card. This endpoint let us parametrize the authorization with several attributes like the currency and amount, the foreign exchange conversion rate (if the currency is different than the currency of the card) and so on.

Then, you can try either reversing the authorization with Reverse the card authorisation or settling it with Settle the card authorisation.

We are constantly adding new features to the card simulator so tell us your feedback and what you'd like to see in the future.

Also, you can refer to the below examples of how each different Transaction Lifecycle example would be represented via this API:

ORDER IDScenario
8Declined Authorisation
11Fully Reversed Authorisation
12Partially Reversed Authorisation (pending settlement)
13Approved Authorisation (pending settlement)
19Settled Authorisation
20Fully Reversed Authorisation due to automatic "Expiry" after 7 days
21Refund
22Settled Authorisation in a different currency
