ISO8583Studio Cloud simulators for payment ecosystem testing
Host, HSM, POS, card, acquirer and issuer simulators — hosted, scriptable and CI-ready. Test the whole transaction chain without a single piece of hardware.
Six simulators, one ecosystem
Host Simulator
Authorization host endpoints with configurable response rules, timeouts and unsolicited messages.
HSM Simulator
PayShield-style command sets, PIN operations and key management without physical HSMs.
POS Simulator
Terminal-side flows — sales, reversals, settlements — driven manually or scripted.
APDU / Card Simulator
Chip-card conversations at APDU level: ATR, application selection, GENERATE AC.
Acquirer Simulator
Acquiring host behaviour for issuer-side testing, with scheme-realistic flows.
Issuer Simulator
Issuer authorization logic with configurable approval rules and response codes.
Built for automation
CLI & Scripting Support
Drive every simulator from the command line — perfect for CI pipelines and nightly regression.
Test Scenario Engine
Compose multi-step scenarios: auth, reversal, repeat — with assertions on every field.
Real-time Debugging
Live formatted + raw hex views of every message crossing the wire.
Mock Data Generation
Realistic PANs, tracks, amounts and EMV data generated on demand.
Load Testing Tools
Sustained TPS against your endpoints to expose pool and timeout issues early.
API Testing Suite
REST APIs alongside ISO 8583 — test modern gateways and legacy rails together.
Test the chain, not your patience
Rapid Test Setup
Minutes from sign-up to first 0200 — no hardware procurement, no lab scheduling.
Automated Testing
Hook simulators into CI so every commit runs against a full payment ecosystem.
Developer-Friendly APIs
Clean, documented endpoints for provisioning and control.
Performance Testing
Measure latency and throughput against realistic host behaviour.
Safe Environment
Isolated tenants and synthetic data — nothing touches production rails.
Edge Case Simulation
Timeouts, partial responses, malformed fields — break it here, not in production.
