# Card payment

The Card Payment option in the sandbox simulates the traditional card checkout flow where the user manually enters card details. This demonstrates how EGW handles direct card data entry in a secure and structured way.

{% hint style="info" %}
In sandbox mode, all transactions are mocked, and card data is not processed or sent to any external networks.
{% endhint %}

### Testing Data

* **Cardholder Name:** Any value
* **Card Number:**
  * 5186 0000 0000 0005 – Successful authorization
  * 5186 0000 0000 0013 – Failed authorization
* **Expiry Date:** Any valid future date (e.g., 12/28)
* **CVV:** Any 3-digit number (e.g., 123)

{% hint style="info" %}
All data is simulated. No real authorization takes place, and responses are based on predefined sandbox rules.
{% endhint %}

### How-to

The overall checkout journey for Card Payments follows the same steps as the[ Click-to-Pay flow](/e-commerce-payment-gateway/sandbox-guide/self-hosted-checkout-page/click-to-pay.md#how-to).

1. The user starts from the Demo Shop, selects a product, adds it to the basket, and proceeds to checkout. 
2. The only difference is that, on the Gateway Hosted Checkout Page, the user must select the “ Card” option instead of Click-to-Pay.
3. After choosing the method, the user enters the test card details manually and completes the simulated transaction.
