Payment Testing with Fake Credit Card Number
-
My payment system is not working although it’s in Live/Production mode. I want to see if making a test payment with one of your fake credit card numbers will fix this but I can’t find the list of numbers. Please help. Thanks. — Clare Higgins, seARTS

What payment system?
There is no secure payments system here at wordpress.COM, and you cannot add a shopping cart to create an online store to any sites hosted by wordpress.COM, regardless of upgrades. There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugins are allowed for security reasons here at wordpress.COM.
Provided you are selling only what you yourself make or a providing service that you personally provide on a wordpress.COM site, or you are asking for donations you have two options.
(1) PayPal – Know that the only instructions that will work for posting a PayPal donation button on a WordPress.com blog are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/
Note that the PayPal email link is not supported and PayPal customization options are not supported either https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/paypal-button-41?replies=12#post-2517229 This is not likely to be changed any time soon, if at all.Some bloggers create a contact form https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ on a page and after the people have made a PayPal donation they provide the link to a private page for downloading files. Maybe that will work for you.

If what I provided above at (1) and (2) do not suit you, then this guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform: Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress where you can set up a secure payment system http://move.wordpress.com

Sorry, I should have mentioned our payment system. It’s Stripe.
I found out from Stripe Help that our Stripe account is in test mode, and I’m going to ask our accountant to switch to live mode. Then I’ll go to our website and change our payment gateway setting to live. But do I need to do a “fake credit card” test before that will work? If so, I recall seeing a page in WP with a list of fake credit card numbers. I can’t find it, though. Could you send me a link to it? Please advise. Thank you. — Clare Higgins from seARTS

Stripe cannot be used on any wordpress.COM hosted site. You can only run it on a wordpress.ORG install on paid hosting. That site is not on WordPress.COM servers and we cannot help with it.
You cannot run woocommerce on any site that’s hosted by wordpress.COM. You can only run it on a wordpress.ORG install on paid hosting. That site is not on WordPress.COM servers and we cannot help with it.
This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites and our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.
(3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/
WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/
Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpackHowever, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

Sorry; I Googled WordPress help and jumped on the first help forum I saw. We are in fact hosted by WordPress.org. I’m very sorry to have wasted your time. I’ll go to the right place.
