Developer mode

Developer mode lets you quickly test the SDK payment- and refund responses & errors with minimal preparation. You do not need a card reader, authorisation flow, or have a Zettle merchant account.

Developer mode is available in the iOS SDK. You can use it in your own project. Also, you can try it out in the iOS example app.

Developer mode is disabled by default. When enabled, no backend requests will be made for transactions.

Before integration

In the iOS SDK example app, you can use developer mode in the following supported test cases:

Evaluate SDK responses and input data format that are difficult to reproduce for business and integration feasibility.

During integration

When you are integrating the SDK into your own app, you can use developer mode in the following supported test cases:

Validate the input (valid format of provided amount and reference) to the SDK for payment and refund flows.
Check the responses from SDK outputs and errors that are difficult to reproduce.

After integration

Before releasing your integration, make sure that the developer mode is disabled.

For information on how to enable developer mode, see Testing payment and refund

Supported test cases

Developer mode validates the input that you provide to the SDK for payment and refund flows in supported test cases. For example, it validates that the input has the valid format.

After you launch a payment- or refund flow with developer mode enabled, you can select the following test cases in the UI:
