## 2. Place a test order

With **Environment** set to **Test**, open your storefront, add a product to the cart and go to checkout. On the payment step, select **Adyen** and pay with one of [Adyen's test cards](https://docs.adyen.com/development-resources/test-cards/test-card-numbers).

To try 3D Secure, use a 3DS test card such as `4917 6100 0000 0000` with expiry `03/30` and security code `737`. The bank verification opens inside the checkout. Enter `password` and select **Continue**.

## 3. Check the order

Open the order in **Orders**. The billing section shows **Adyen**, and the order is marked **Paid** once the payment is captured.

You can also find the payment in the Adyen Customer Area under **Transactions → Payments**.

## Refunds
