The Passport Product Simulator lets you recreate Passport processing and payment scenarios end-to-end in a controlled sandbox.

Prerequisites

Sandbox API credentials and environment access
No live transactions; simulation data only

Limitations

Simulator supports core Passport features (no custom plugins or experimental APIs)

Compliance / Regulation Mandates

PCI-DSS Structure Compliance

Simulated flows follow the same data formats and workflows as live PCI-DSS transactions, but do not handle real card data.

Data Segregation

Test data must remain within the sandbox; do not import production PII or sensitive financial information.

Audit Logging

All simulator actions are logged for internal review, but are not part of external regulatory filings.

Why Use the Simulator?

To build a truly robust integration, you must simulate every possible scenario encountered during Passport boarding and processing. Whether you’re on Account Management, Sales, PayOps, or an external development team, this guide equips you to explore and validate Passport workflows end-to-end.

What the Simulator Offers

End-to-End Lifecycle Emulation: Recreate the entire transaction journey—from creation through settlement or refund—in a sandbox.
Customizable Data Scenarios: Configure customer profiles, payment methods, balances, and transaction histories to match your use cases.
Failure & Edge-Case Testing: Simulate processor declines, network timeouts, data validation errors, and more to verify your error-handling logic.

Dive into the sections that follow to learn how to set up your sandbox, seed test data, run scenario scripts, and interpret simulator outputs—ensuring your Passport integration is resilient, compliant, and production-ready.
