# Testing Recurring Payments
Testing recurring payments is a recommended good practice for [subscription offer](https://publisher.support.cleeng.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012552919-What-is-a-Cleeng-offer#subscription) types. To make it easier, we have introduced **daily** subscriptions in the **[sandbox](https://srm-sandbox.cleeng.com/register)** environment only.
You can easily create **daily subscriptions** in the Cleeng dashboard, and simulate the entire subscription lifecycle, including recurring payments in a controlled sandbox environment.
This allows you to thoroughly test and fine-tune your subscription offers before going live, and minimize the risk of unexpected issues with recurring payments, which helps you create a smoother and more reliable experience for your users.
# Use cases
Testing with daily subscriptions can be used:
* For Cleeng-managed subscriptions. (For externally-managed subscriptions Cleeng acts only as observer and mirrors lifecycle events that happen in an external system).
* For the following Payment Service Providers: Adyen and PayPal.
# Testing steps
1. **Ensure Payment Methods are Configured**\
If not done already, contact our [B2B Support Team](https://publisher.support.cleeng.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) to configure your payment methods. [Default Dunning Actions](https://developers.cleeng.com/docs/dunning-action-settings#default-dunning-settings) are set automatically when your preferred payment methods are set.
2. **Ensure webhooks are configured**
3. **Create a Daily Subscription Test Offer**\
You can create a test subscription offer in the **Cleeng Dashboard -> Offers & Coupons -> Offers**, and set the **billing period** to **daily**.
When the test offer is created, the **Billing Frequency** will display as "day" in the **Default Pricing** section.
4. **Register a Test Customer**\
Register a test end-user to create a new customer account for testing.
5. **Purchase the Daily Subscription Test Offer**\
Use the test customer account to purchase the test offer.
6. **Verify Initial Payment**\
Go to **Cleeng Dashboard -> Customer -> Customer Account**.
* The purchase should be visible in the **CustomerAccount -> Customer Details** tab.
* The scheduled payment date should be set to the next day (24 hours after purchase), indicating when the recurring payment is due.
7. **Verify Recurring Payments**\
A day after the initial purchase, go to **Cleeng Dashboard -> Customer -> Customer Account** to check if a recurring payment has happened as expected.
* Recurring payments should be visible in the **Transactions** table in the **Customer Details** tab.
* The scheduled payment date should be set to the next day after the last recurring payment, indicating when another recurring payment is due.
