E-commerce production website testing checkout approach

Not sure if I'm posting this in the correct Stack website, but I've been developing e-commerce websites for about 10 years now, and I recently developed a pretty large one.

New enhancements get tested and deployed all the time, but when testing a checkout enhancement I always have to use my actual credit card to complete the checkout process.

Does anyone have a rock solid approach for being able to test on production without having to process a real card? I don't want anyone else to be able to use the card i.e. customers.

If there is a Laravel specific answer to this it would really help, but an approach would be great.

Thank you!

I'm facing the same issue and my best idea, I think, is to use a pre-paid VISA card. You can load any amount on to it and then cancel/refund the transaction as you please. I was worried my fraud score would be affected with multiple cancellations against my card.

the larger online credit card processors have developer "sandboxes" so you can easily do this. for example: https://developer.authorize.net/sandbox/
