As of the update from Vantiv 9 – Vantiv 12, We are no longer able to provide a Vantiv/Worldpay test gateway. *Please let your Vantiv relationship manager or client success rep know you need a Pre-Live account setup for VAP XML Version 12. 
This is their support article on doing that: http://support.worldpay.com/support/CNP-API/content/preliveenv.htm
**Vantiv doesn’t turn on tokenization by default on test accounts, if this is something you need for testing, you will need to ask for tokenization to be enabled.


Do not use test credit card information on a live gateway and do not use real credit card information on a test gateway.

The following credit card information can be used to test the Vantiv gateway.

Card Number = 4100200300011001
Card Expiration = Any future date
CVV Code = 463

The following bank information can be used to test the Vantiv gateway.
