EFTPOS and HealthPoint testing

Development machines, simulators and environments

Tyro makes available a development simulator for partners to use during their integration and testing efforts. At times, tyro will make development CounterTop machines available to partners who require one. If you wish to enquire about a CounterTop machine, please contact your partnerships manager at healthpartnerships@tyro.com.

Included with the machine are:

  • Test payment cards
  • Test Private Health Fund cards
  • Paper for receipts
  • Details of test MIDs and TIDs

Note that only test EFTPOS and health fund cards will work on development terminals - production cards will not function. A physical machine is not required for development - a simulator can be used for most functions which does not require the entry/swipe of test cards. In either case, a list of test TIDs and MIDs will be sent to each partner. Please ensure these details are used for testing. For testing, a dedicated integration testing environment has been established with stubbed responses for various transaction scenarios. This is called the Tyro Health Online stg environment.

Prior to testing, partners will need to have a non-production test business setup in the Tyro Health Online stg environment. For claiming, the business will require at least one activated provider. Send a note to healthpartnerships@tyro.com for setup of test businesses.
