how to test

[amalsalim]

So I have sandbox and I'm able to send requests and create rules for VTC. However this is for test data. 

How can i test with testdata?
For example: I created a spending rule on VTC where any item purchased above $20 is rejected. How can simulate a card swipe to see if this works as configured?

Hey @amalsalim,

We don't have an API to emulate Magstripe transactions. Note that you cannot emulate a swipe. For a card present transaction, the interaction must be between the card and the magstripe reader.

ok..so I'm confused on how i can test the notification API. The notification API is to be called from the Visa server, and if I can't emulate a mag stripe, how can I invoke the notification API from the visa server?

thanks

Amal
