Test your integration

When testing your Checkout integration, select PayNow as the payment method and click the Generate QR code button, which creates and renders a QR code.

While testing, you can scan the QR code with a QR code scanning application on your mobile device. The QR code payload contains a URL which brings you to a Stripe-hosted PayNow test payment page where you can either authorize or fail the test payment.

In live mode, you’ll be able to scan the QR code using a preferred banking app or payment app that supports PayNow.
