Frequently asked questions
What is the Luhn algorithm?
It's a simple checksum formula used to catch accidental errors in card numbers. Passing it means the number is well-formed — not that the card is real or active.
Is it safe to enter a card number?
Yes — validation happens entirely in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere. Still, only use test numbers, not sensitive live cards.
