To add a test card to Shop Pay, use a Shopify Payments test credit card number 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.
Shop Pay test cards don't work with Shop Pay Installments.
