How to test stripe integration in Test mode?

Hello,

I have a self-hosted instance of Ghost through Digital Ocean. I have setup everything including the integration with Stripe. While integrating with Stripe, I checked the “Test Mode” option.

But when I try to subscribe and enter a test card, I get an error saying " Your card was declined. Your request was in live mode, but used a known test card. "

I used the test card that is mentioned on the stripe documentation here . How do I test if the subscription and the Stripe transaction is working as expected?

Let me know. Thanks.

Best Regards,

According to the message, it seems you have connected your stripe to ghost as Live mode.

Can you make sure it’s connected in test mode?

If you go to Setting > Membership & click on Connected to Stripe & verify its connected in test mode

Thanks @inoryum . I wasn’t enabling the Test mode checkbox before connecting with Stripe and hence it would end up connecting in live mode. Fixed it now.

Cheers!
