Authorize.Net Testing for Page Redirection

[mostwanteddeadbeats]

Hi,



I'm using e-junkie for integrating Authorize.net to order a product from my site...



The thing is after i enter my CC information and click submit, i need to be redirected to my site with first name,last name,email address etc...



I've seen from the FAQ that if we provide the URL in Thank You Page URL in Edit Account Preferences we can get the values in $_GET values in the thank you page...



But to do some tests to check if we get the values back from e-junkie to our redirect page, pls. confirm if there is any test methods or test acounts to check it instead of providing a original CC.



Pls. confirm about how to test the redirect values without using a original Credit card, as i'll be charged for every test?

You can temporarily set your product price to 0.00, or create a secret Cart Discount code for 100% off the order total so you can enter that code in your cart for testing purposes.



An order total of 0.00 will activate a Free Checkout option you can use to checkout a test order without going through a payment processor like Authorize.Net. This will ask you to submit your name, email and (optional) phone and company before taking you to your thank-you page. Since this does not simulate an actual paid checkout, there may be some GET parameters missing that would ordinarily be appended for an actual payment, but this should at least confirm your script is parsing the URL correctly, etc.



If you want to test the complete checkout process including an actual payment being made, then you would simply need to complete an actual checkout using an actual card to pay yourself. You can temporarily set your product price to 0.01 in Seller Admin to make the amount of this test payment trivial.
