I am integrating Bitpay on my online shopping mall for allow using BTC to purchase high value product. I want to test Bitpay with KYC by  purchasing products more than 3000USD on my test site, but I only have 0.3 testnet BTC.

I am able to test one time with KYC, but I think test one time unable to fix everything. Any idea/suggestion from the community?

Any body has testnet BTC can donate? if need real money to exchange, please leave a message for consideration and let me discuss with my team.

Try learning Separation of Concerns principle and implement that into your application: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_concerns

Basically you split your application into "distinct sections" and each section is responsible for a different stand alone concern. For example one part is responsible for sending/receiving transactions another part is responsible for evaluating the value and deciding what to do with them. You can inject a "mock" of second part into the first part while testing and give it any value you want (eg. $3000 for production and $0.003 for testing).

You can check out the faucets- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5237763.0
Though I haven't checked if all of them are active or not at present, have checked the list long ago. It's time to update the list.

Testnet BTC have no value. So, you shouldn't exchange tBTC for any real money. Why would you even pay them? I can't remember who offered, maybe it was mocacinno (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=405464), he lends tBTC which you have to return him back. Try contacting him.

Can't pay him back , all the testnet bitcoin will pay to bitpay for testing my web app

Then you don't have any other option but to follow the faucets. No one will give you tBTC if you can't return them back, even all the faucets encouraged to pay back the tBTC once you have completed the test. I'm a bit confused though what you are trying to test. I don't know how bitpay works. Who are going to receive the tBTC? Bitpay or you? Why don't you use a small value product to test?

This. Create a product for 1000 sat, and you can test many times with the coins you can get in seconds from a faucet. Since you have 0.3 tBTC already, you can test it about 30,000 times. The whole "$3000" concept is meaningless in Testnet anyway.

I only own very small amount of tBTC, so i would recommend you to perform solo mining where you could get some tBTC by mining block which has difficulty 1.

I briefly read BitPay documentation and found out it's possible to recycle/obtain tBTC you used to make payment.

1) BitPay will never ask for KYC with testnet coins. They only care when actual value is being passed and where the sale is coming from.

2) If you really need the coins and have issues getting them BitPay will send you some (or at least they used to) most of the way down the page they even say you can contact them: https://bitpay.com/docs/testing

3) For the most part as others have said when testing $1.00 is the same as $10000. Your coding calling the BitPay API either works or it does not.

Please remove BitPay, for God's sake. It's a service that treats bitcoin as non-fungible, and you forfeit the ownership of your coins to use it (as merchant), so it's kinda against the principles of bitcoin. Instead, check out BTCPay Server (https://btcpayserver.org/). It's open-source reputable software, non-custodial, and treats each coin equally.

That being said, you don't need a huge amount of tBTC to test. The 0.3 tBTC you have is enough. Also, BitPay is not gonna tell you anything if you send testnet coins; it's the real money that concerns them.

Likely those Bitcoin Testnet Faucet are still working but of course you should check them by your own. The amount of tBTC you can claim from faucets is not too big.

I thought you knew about scam method with tBTC but I share my topic here for other newbies too

• Testnet Bitcoin. Activate, experience it, but don't trade and get scammed. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5215716.0)

OH , BitPay will never ask for KYC with testnet coins.
My web app is now work perfectly for small amount, i need to test KYC(>3000USD). So i need to move to production to test KYC? Bitpay will charge me 1% to test on >3000USD transaction, i have to pay 30 DOLLAR per test, so expansive.

Just tested an US$3540.74 order on test.bitpay.com, no KYC request :(

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

Why would they request KYC on Testnet? Testnet is meant to test your side of the payment configuration, KYC is entirely on Bitpay's side. What exactly are you trying to test here?

As everyone keeps saying, they will NEVER ask you for KYC on testnet.

AND since you are setup with them and they have your info anyway, anything you are doing with them that tracks back to you / your email / other info will probably *NOT* get a KYC request either. They know who you are already.

Any transaction I make that tracks back to ANY of the emails I have on file with bitpay never gets KYCd anymore as far as I remember. Don't need to have someone tell them what they already know.
