# Validate Payments for B2C Commerce

Set up and validate test payments in a test or live merchant account for your B2C Commerce instance. Use a merchant account associated with your B2C Commerce instance to create test payments.

- Test mode: Doesn’t use actual authorizations or captures. Uses test cards and bank accounts.
- Live mode: Uses actual authorizations and captures for credit cards and bank accounts. Uses only valid credit cards and bank accounts.

Associate a merchant account with your B2C Commerce instance, and for Stripe, onboard the account. See [Associate an Adyen Merchant Account with B2C Commerce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=cc.b2c_associate_adyen_merchant_account.htm&type=5&language=en_US), [Associate a Stripe Merchant Account with B2C Commerce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=cc.b2c_associate_stripe_merchant_account.htm&type=5&language=en_US), and [Onboard Your Stripe Merchant Account for B2C Commerce](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=cc.b2c_onboard_a_stripe_merchant_account.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

1. From Business Manager, go to the Storefront.
2. Add items to your cart.
3. Checkout using multi-step checkout, Pay Now, or Buy Now (Google Pay for Chrome or Android and Apple Pay for Safari or IOS).

- For Adyen, view the order in the Adyen Customer Area. An Adyen Payment Service Provider (PSP) reference is listed for the order.
- For Stripe, view the order in the Stripe Dashboard. A Stripe payment intent ID is listed for the order.
