This section provides everything you need to safely test your PayGate PayBatch setup before going live. Simulate real-world payment flows—including Authorisations, Settlements, and Refunds—validate batch structures, and monitor webhook delivery using sandbox credentials and test tools like Postman.

What You Can Test

Authorisation, Settlement, and Refund flows
Confirming and querying batches
Webhook notification delivery
Basic HTTP Authentication setup
Handling valid and invalid batch lines
Reviewing response structures and Upload IDs

Test Credentials

Use the following sandbox credentials for testing:

Field	Value
PayGate ID	`10011072130`
Encryption Key	`test`
Environment	`https://secure.paygate.co.za/paybatch/1.2/process.trans`

⚠️
These credentials are for testing purposes only and must not be used in production environments.

Test PayBatch SOAP Integration End-to-End

Use this step-by-step guide to test the PayGate PayBatch SOAP API using real-world request flows.

Testing Tips

Use a different BatchReference for each request (Postman uses {{$randomInt}} for this).
Store the returned UploadID in a variable to reuse for Confirm and Query requests.
Monitor your webhook URL (such as Pipedream or webhook.site) for callback notifications from PayGate.
Expect asynchronous responses; use the Query method to check final transaction results.
