About

# Stripe Test Cards Helper  

## Overview  

Stripe Test Cards Helper is a powerful and efficient Chrome extension designed to simplify testing payment forms. It provides a floating, draggable button on any webpage, allowing developers, QA teams, and testers to quickly access and insert pre-configured Stripe test card details. This extension automates the paste sequence for test card inputs, reducing manual entry and speeding up your testing workflow.  

## Features  

- **Floating Draggable Button:**  
  A non-intrusive button that remains on the page and can be repositioned near Stripe input fields for quick access.  

- **Test Card Overlay:**  
  Clicking the floating button opens a modal overlay displaying a searchable list of test cards, complete with names, descriptions, and card numbers. Users can also mark frequently used cards as favorites.  

- **Automated Paste Sequence:**  
  When a test card is selected, the extension automatically pastes the details in sequence:  
    1. **First CTRL+V:** Pastes the card number.  
    2. **Second CTRL+V:** After a short 100ms delay, pastes the expiration date (MM/YY, e.g., **12/34**).  
    3. **Third CTRL+V:** After another 100ms delay, pastes the CVV code (e.g., **567**).  

- **User Guidance:**  
  The overlay includes a brief guide explaining the paste sequence, ensuring users understand how the automation works.  

## Use Cases  

- **Web Development & Testing:**  
  Quickly populate payment fields with test data, streamlining checkout flow and payment integration testing.  

- **Quality Assurance:**  
  Automate repetitive input tasks and accelerate regression testing for various test scenarios.  

- **Demos & Training:**  
  Effortlessly simulate payment processes during live demonstrations or training sessions without manual copy-pasting.  

## How It Works  

1. **Activation:**  
   The extension activates per domain. Once enabled, a floating button appears on the page.  

2. **Floating Button:**  
   The draggable button can be moved anywhere on the screen. A click opens the test card overlay.  

3. **Selecting a Test Card:**  
   Users can search for and select a test card from the overlay. Upon selection, the card number is immediately copied, and the automated paste sequence begins.  

4. **Automated Paste Sequence:**  
    - **First CTRL+V:** Pastes the card number.  
    - **Second CTRL+V:** After a 100ms delay, pastes the expiration date (MM/YY, e.g., 12/34).  
    - **Third CTRL+V:** After another 100ms delay, pastes the CVV code (e.g., 567).
