2.3 Test mode

With a Developer account the test mode setting will influence the response codes generated by Authorize.net.

If the test mode is enabled the amount of the order will determine which response code will be returned by

the payment gateway and if the transaction will be successful or not. If you set the test mode off all

transactions will succeed no matter what the amount is. Please note that the AVS and CCV options should be

unchecked as a Developer account does not support these options. Using the test mode the response codes

that AVS and CCV can generate can be simulated by varying the payment amounts. Please refer to the

Merchant Integration Guide of Authorize.net for more details

With a Live account the test mode setting will only allow an authorization request to succeed but will never

actually debit any money from the credit card. This mode is usefull to check AVS and CCV options. Please note

that the transaction number will always be 0 and the payment will never succeed. Authorizion requests done

with this setting will have to be manually cancelled (voided) using the Authorize.net account pages.
