Testing your sales funnels is an important step to confirming that everything is working correctly before launching your funnel. In this article, we'll cover how to test your Stripe integration within your sales funnel.
This article also covers how to test Stripe within a funnel’s order form page to ensure that Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) will automatically trigger for your customers living in the European Union (EU).
More information on SCA can be found by visiting Stripe’s online guide.
Prior to getting started, you will need to have the following:
- A Stripe account integrated with your ClickFunnels account
- A sales funnel, including an order form page
- A product
Step 1: Testing Your Order Form Using Stripe
1. Hover over the ClickFunnels tab at the top of the dashboard and click on Funnels.
2. Select the funnel you'd like to test by:
a. Using the search feature
b. Scrolling down the list of funnels and clicking on the funnel's name
3. Click the Settings tab located in the top right corner of the funnel.
4. Scroll down to the section on Stripe and toggle the Test Mode switch to the On position if it is not already.
5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Save And Update Settings.
6. Click on the Order Form page on the left side of the screen.
7. Right-click on the new tab icon and open the link in a new incognito window.
8. Fill out the name field(s) and shipping/billing information if required.
9. Enter the Stripe test card number provided at the top of the page into the credit card field.
4012 8888 8888 1881
The expiration date entered can be any future date (next month is ok, but not the current month) and the CVC code can be any combination of numbers (eg. 111). These fields cannot be left blank.
10. Submit the order form once all information fields have been filled.
Upon submitting your order the sales funnel should forward to the next page in the funnel. If it does not, or you get an error message you will have to troubleshoot your funnel setup. If you are testing a Stripe Subscription Plan, you’ll want to make sure you have the exact same plan created inside your test dashboard in Stripe as well.
11. To view the details for your test purchase, click the Sales tab in the upper right hand corner of the funnel settings page. Click Details to the right of each order for more information on the test purchase.
Step 2: Testing Your Order Form With Stripe SCA
1. Complete steps 1-8 above.
2. Fill in the Credit Card Number field using one of Stripe’s two SCA test card numbers.
Option 1 - Use the following test card number to trigger SCA for both your order form page and any upsell or OTO pages:
4000 0027 6000 3184
OR
Option 2 - Use the following test card to trigger SCA only for your order form page:
4000 0025 0000 3155
The expiration date entered can be any future date (next month is ok, but not the current month) and the CVC code can be any combination of numbers (eg. 111). These fields cannot be left blank.
3. Submit the order form once all information fields have been filled.
4. The 3D Secure Test Page popup will appear that reads:
This is a 3D Secure non-payment authentication test page.
In live mode, customers will be asked to verify their identity with a push notification, a text message, or another method chosen by their bank.
a. Click Fail Authentication to reveal the failed payment notification on the order form:
We are unable to authenticate your payment method. Please choose a different payment method and try again.
b. Click Complete Authentication to trigger the 3D Secure Test Payment Page which reads:
This is a test payment of [order total here] using 3D Secure.
In live mode, customers will be asked to verify their identity with a push notification, a text message, or another method chosen by their bank.
5. Click Complete Authentication again to complete the test purchase and be moved to the next step in the funnel sequence.
