  - **CVV** = use any 3-digit number

## Test for Specific Responses and Errors

Use the test cards below to create a Payment Method that produces a specific response.

### Incorrect CVC Code Error

Use this number to create an error about an incorrect **CVV**. The error message will be in the Stripe data fields.

• **Number** = 4000000000000127

### Fail to Capture

This number will create a valid Payment Method, but when you capture a Transaction with the Payment Method, the Transaction will fail. The error message will be in the Stripe data fields.

• **Number** = 4000000000000341

*Additional testing for specific responses and errors can be found [here](https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards-responses).*

### Disputes

Use the card below in test mode to simulate a disputed Transaction. This number will create a valid Payment Method, but when you capture a Transaction with the Payment Method, a Dispute record will be created.

- **Number** = "4000000000000259"

#### Test Winning a Dispute

Enter the words "winning_evidence" in the **Additional Information** field on the Dispute Evidence record to simulate the dispute being won and the funds being returned to your account as an adjustment Transaction.

#### Test Losing a Dispute

Enter the words "losing_evidence" in the **Additional Information** field on the Dispute Evidence record to simulate the dispute being closed and marked as lost. (Your account will not be credited.)
