My last company, Rainforest QA, developed issuing virtual credit-card numbers for just this purpose - kinda like the ones used for privacy.com. Customers use them for testing in prod. Simple, effective - and testing the exact same flow as customers.

Before this, we found a lot of teams using either their own corp cards, or pre-paid visa type things. All, a pain to manage balance wise.

Seemingly, the biggest problem left with doing this is production metrics; these transactions in prod tend to affect the main metrics - either your own, or payment related things.

I can't find anything current, but - https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180417005414/en/Rai... covers it.
