Generate a Stripe test card token for testing
You don't need to create tokens with fake credit cards for testing anymore. Stripe now provides a list of pre-made tokens for this purpose :
Stripe docs : Test card numbers and tokens
Stripe provides an API call to create tokens from the server:
\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey("sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2");
\Stripe\Token::create(array(
"card" => array(
"number" => "4242424242424242",
"exp_month" => 1,
"exp_year" => 2017,
"cvc" => "314"
)
));
edit: Stripe now provides ready-to-use test tokens like
tok_visa
at https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards.
