Hello,

Using a card generator will only work in our sandbox environment, it won't work for production sites.

Was my post helpful? If so, please give me a kudos!

Credit card generator tools creates random virtual card numbers for payment testing apps. You can not do shopping with this card numbers. You can simulate only your payment app.  According to your requirement, you can use the following generator tools running with the luhn algorithm.

Hey,

The system expects buyers to log in to PayPal and choose that credit card as their funding source if they want to pay with it.

As for testing on the sandbox (other than PayPal's credit card generator), I've always used old, expired credit cards or [URL Removed] (Third-party site) and they seem to work fine for me.

Always remember you cannot purchase anything using fake card details. Credit card generator is only used for Sandbox Environment.
