Create one in App Store Connect. For details, see Apple Pay sandbox testing. A test card from the Test Cards for Apps and the Web list on the same page. Each card has its own expiration date and security code. Cards under Test Cards for Point of Sale Systems can’t be added to Wallet. A device region set to a country or region that supports Apple Pay.

The card and the Sandbox Apple Account stay on the device after device cleanup, so later sessions on the same device can use the card without adding it again. Troubleshoot adding a card This Card Is Not Eligible for Apple Pay The card isn’t a valid sandbox test card for this device. Use a card from Test Cards for Apps and the Web, and check that the device region supports Apple Pay. Invalid Card The expiration date or security code doesn’t match the card number.
