AUTHORIZE.NET

Authorize.Net defaults their accounts to Test Mode. This enables you to run transactions in a test environment, confirm your connection to the payment gateway, and view how the system reacts to your settings.

You MUST change the Test Mode settings from "Test" to "Live" to process real transactions. Transactions submitted while the account is in Test mode are NOT actually processed.

Instructions for updating the test mode settings can be found below in the Account Configuration Guide section.

You should change the test mode setting to "Live" after you have reviewed the Account Configuration Guide below, updated your account settings, and tested your API credentials, if applicable.
