# Testing the CCAvenue payment method

You can test your payment integration in the CCAvenue sandbox. Always use your [test API keys](https://app.gitbook.com/s/oUderMtztdH7OKDXmYbI/commerce-api-reference-guide/api-structure/api-keys) to prevent you from interacting directly with payment services when evaluating your integration. Ensure that the test data you enter does not create an actual charge or result in the funds transfer.

Use your confidential (secret) test API key when conducting testing in the Commerce API. Use your public test API key to create test payment sources in DigitalRiver.js.

Your testing approach depends on whether the payment method has an [authentication flow](https://docs.digitalriver.com/commerce-api/sources#authentication-flow) of redirect. If you don't know the flow of the payment method you'd like to test, you can find it on the [Supported payment methods](https://docs.digitalriver.com/commerce-api/payments/supported-payment-methods) page.

Use the following payment information when running a test.

| Payment option | Payment information                      | Notes                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |

## Success and error scenarios

Use any card number under [Testing the CCAvenue payment method](#testing-the-ccavenue-payment-method) to test for successful or failed payment scenarios. Visit the Bank Response Page via the following URL to specify the card's behavior: <https://test.ccavenue.com/bnk/servlet/processCCardReq?gtwID=AVN\\&requestType=PAYMENT>. Before running the test scenario, complete the necessary fields and set the **Transaction Status** to **Y** for a success scenario and **N** for an error scenario.
