Payment Method generator

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The Payment Method generator creates simulated payment method data, representing different forms of payment used in transactions. These can include credit cards, debit cards, bank transfers, digital wallets, cash, checks, or other payment methods. The generator creates realistic payment method values, which can be used for testing, development, or data simulation in financial applications, e-commerce systems, or payment processing environments.

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column that matches any of the following rules:

The column name starts with ‘Pay’ and then goes ‘Type’ or ‘Method’, preceded or followed by any or no characters, regardless of the table name.
The column name is ‘Name’, and it belongs to a table whose name starts with ‘Pay’ and contains ‘Type’ or ‘Method’, preceded or followed by any or no characters.

Configure additional options

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.
