Taler

(work in progress) This page is describing how to test Taler on staging environments.

Set up

Taler is a payment method only available in Switzerland for now. To test Taler on a staging server, these are the credentials you need to add on OFN side as a shop owner:

• Instance URL: https://backend.demo.taler.net/instances/sandbox

• password: sandbox

To be able to test as a shopper, you will need to add the browser extension and the Taler mobile app. You will need to create an account at Taler's demo virtual bank (this is to mimic the bank's side of things). See info here: https://demo.taler.net/en/ Once you are set up here are some test cases and what you should expect:

You will need to go to the demo bank and transfer kudos to your Taler wallet.
