Using the Sandbox

G’day Nigel,

The error says that you’re trying to transact with an invalid currency for your account: “V6018: Unknown Payment CurrencyCode”. You’re likely using the Australian sandbox not the New Zealand sandbox. Open a New Zealand sandbox account and it will accept NZD.

Hi Ross, thanks for your help. Unfortunately Im still having trouble. Ive signed up to eway sandbox etc and thats all good. but I cant actually get the transaction to go through

I just submitted an application for little Test Only, successfully. What error are you seeing? I can’t help much if you don’t tell me what the error is.

cheers,
Ross

Hi Ross, I saw that obviously it works. Im just getting validation errors as Im not filling in all the card details. I only have the number 4444333322221111 I can’t see anywhere else in the documentation what to put in the other fields? What details did you enter?

For the Credit Card field, pick any expiry date in the future (including this month, expiry is assumed to be end of month, so e.g. month 03 and year 2018). Use any name you like for the card holder name (e.g. Test). Any 3 digit number for security code (e.g. 123). It doesn’t matter in the sandbox, as long as the card number meets the validation and the expiry date is in the future. eWAY isn’t sending those card details to be validated by a bank, when you submit to the sandbox.

Speaking of mandatory fields and validation, I think you’ll have some trouble with your form because it has made pretty much every field mandatory. Some people don’t have mobile phones, for example, so making those fields means they can’t fill out the form.

Ross
