Accepting Credit Cards

Questions

We are having an issue when testing our site.  We are trying some mock orders and when we select credit card as payment type, and put in credit card information (we are using dummy numbers) we cant click continue to process the order.  Do we actually have to have credit card processing set up for this to work?  Or how does magento handle this?

    Hello Patrick,

    Most of credit card payment methods have test modes and test accounts. For example for PayPal you need just to sign up at http://developer.paypal.com to get test account, than you can configure Magento with one of the credentials those are listed there and create test customer accounts to get credit card numbers for testing.

    As for Magento side, if a payment method supports test mode it is mentioned in its configuration. For PayPal it is called Sandbox Mode, for Authorize.Net it is Test Mode and specific API Url. So you need to check the payment gateway website to check how you can test it.

    Sincerely,
