Card testing is a type of fraud where criminals use automation or bots to test stolen credit card numbers by making small, low-risk transactions.
When selling software or digital products it’s common to share payment links. These links are convenient but sharing them too openly can be risky. You might think that the link is harmless. That it doesn’t make any harm if someone pays onto my account. Nobody would do that. Why would they?
Someone can use the link for wrong purposes, test stolen credit cards. What if someone is using your link for that? They might test with 0.1€. Even these small transactions cost you processing fees. What if they are testing thousand cards?
I want you to know this when you are considering should you copy paste payment link onto your website or is there a safer way to share it. Find out what else you should do to protect your account.
