Where do these test card numbers come from?

These card numbers are from the official Stripe testing documentation. They are Stripe-specific test credentials that only work in Stripe's sandbox (test mode) environment and do not work for real transactions.

What expiry date and CVV should I use?

For most Stripe test cards, use any future expiry date (e.g., 12/34) and any 3-digit CVV (e.g., 123). For Amex test cards, use a 4-digit CVV (e.g., 1234). Some test cards require specific values to trigger certain behaviors.

Do these cards work outside of Stripe?

No. These test numbers are only functional in Stripe's test mode. They will not work with other payment processors, in Stripe's live mode, or for any real transaction.
