Shopify Payments in test mode

Good afternoon,

I have created a development store and I’m trying to set up Shopify Payments in test mode. However, it requires me to provide quite a lot of personal information (e.g. name, surname, date of birth, phone number, address) and eventually I need to submit all this data for verification.
I do not want to provide real/correct data, as this is a development store only with test-only payments.
Maybe I’m doing it wrong? Is there a way to activate Shopify Payments in test mode without providing (and waiting for verification) of all this information?

Thank you,
Piotr

If in a development store I suggest using the Bogus Gateway

thanks for the reply, but we would prefer to keep using Shopify Payments.
We have used it for a few years now, and it seems this new verification set-up process for new Shopify stores is a recent change.

I understand why it’s there, but can it be skipped (or can fake data be used) if we only want to use Shopify Payments in test mode?
