Overview
Before you can submit your product for approval, you must create and test a payment link. A payment link is a unique link that directs customers from a seller's Pitch Page to the ClickBank order form. Testing your payment link ensures that the link is effective before you offer the product to potential customers. It also helps expedite the approval process.
You cannot test a payment link with actual credit card data. You will need to use test credit card data that is provided by ClickBank. These instructions will go over how to get that data and how to use it to test your payment link.
Note: Before proceeding with these instructions, make sure you have signed up for a ClickBank account and have a functional pitch page complete with a payment link to the ClickBank order form.
