# Test Shop Pay

***

## Overview

This guide provides instructions for testing your Shop Pay Wallet integration using Shopify Payments test mode and test credit cards to simulate payments.

***

## Test mode

Test mode is a feature of Shopify Payments. While test mode is activated, no real payments are captured.

After you're finished testing, deactivate test mode so that real payments are captured when customers complete checkout.

### Activate test mode for Shopify Payments

Before you can test credit card transactions, you need to activate test mode for Shopify Payments.

1. From your Shopify admin, go to **Settings** > **Payments**.
2. In the **Shopify Payments** section, click **Manage**.
3. In the **Test mode** section, select **Enable test mode**.
4. Click **Save**.

### Test Shopify Payments with Shop Pay

To add a test card to Shop Pay, use a [Shopify Payments test credit card number](#simulate-successful-transactions) and enter `test_card` at the beginning of the **Nickname (optional)** field when adding the card in Shop Pay.

The `test_card` nickname isn't case-sensitive. For example, `test_card`, `Test_Card`, and `TEST_CARD` all simulate a test card when entered as the first or only value in the nickname field.

Cards added this way are processed using Shopify Payments test mode and no real charges are processed. The nickname is saved as entered.

**Note:**

Shop Pay test cards don't work with Shop Pay Installments.
