Clearing or Failing Test eCheck Transactions
When you use eCheck to transfer funds or send payments, the transaction appears as pending
until you manually clear or fail it. Manual clearing is only necessary in the Sandbox.
To clear or fail test eCheck transactions:
1. In the transactions log, click the Details link (in the Details column).
2. In the Transaction Detail window, there are two links to simulate actual bank clearing.
These links appear only in the Sandbox:
– Clear Transaction: Click to complete the transaction.
– Fail Transaction: Click to cancel the transaction.
3. Click Return to Log to see the transfer completed and the money in the Sandbox account.
The My Account > Overview page opens.
4. Click the View Limits links on the My Account > Overview page to see the spending
limits for the current test account.
For an alternative example, see “Completing or Canceling a Pending Transaction” on
page 29.
