Test EBT Cards

🚧
Replace any XXXXXXs with numbers of your choice.

Valid EBT test card numbers

To exclusively test successful EBT transactions, use any 16, 18, or 19 digit number starting with 9999, for example:

9999 XXXX XXXX XXXX
9999XX XXXX XXXX XXXX
9999XX XXXX XXXX XXX XX
9999XX XXXXXXXXXXXXX

✅
All sandbox test cards have $1000 SNAP and $1000 EBT Cash balances that reset one hour after the test card is last used. For example, if you attempt a second capture or refund on the test card, then the new balance is preserved up to one hour after the second transaction.
You can make purchases and refunds using these cards just as you would expect to in production.
