We are using Authorize.net payment gateway. It is working in Production mode perfectly, recently by mistake we have changed the production mode to testing.
"PrimeAuthnetDeploymentMode.Testing"
Hence more customers done the payment in testing mode. I'm not sure about that, is the amount actually created from the customer account? How not sure what i have to do now? How can i get if the amount is amount is created from customer card?

Karthik.
Transactions submitting using test mode only confirms you are able to connect to the payment gateway. It does not attempt a transaction and no record is kept of the request.

We're updating our applications integration of Stripe to use strong customer authentication. I want to test that our integration triggers the appropriate Javascript when the customer confirms using 3d secure.
The problem that I'm running into is that I'm using the same client secret in multiple tests and the modal will only appear the first time the client secret is used. This is an issue because I don't want to have to complete a full transaction by interacting with the frontend for every test just to test the SCA portion of the integration.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this?
#keoghpe, the successfully completed payment_intent client secret could not be reused. However, if you are using testing card such as (4000008260003178) https://stripe.com/docs/payments/cards/testing#regulatory-cards
This card number is Stripe testing card which simulates a payment failure. In this case, payment_intent's state machine will be kicked back to be requires_payment_method state which you could reuse the client secret again.
I've subscriptions set up for Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) using customer profiles in Authorize.net.
I was able to create a subscription correctly but I'm getting transaction status as settlement error.
For transactions, I'm using test credit card provided by authorize.net and currently, I'm testing it using sandbox account.
Can anyone please tell me how to how can I test ARB in authorize.net?
Yes, You can.
Just change the Test Mode to Live mode in your sandbox account.
Now you can add subscribers by test card details into the ARB transactions.
We would like to know how we can test stripe in LIVE for an e-commerce website? The site basically is an e-commerce website and courses are purchased online, how do we test LIVE transactions without using real-time credit cards in stripe?
The purpose of Stripe test mode is to ensure that you get your code into a perfectly working state, and that each type of transaction you are dealing with is fully covered. You can even validate that WebHooks are working by pointing them at your application's test API endpoints.
There's not really a way of 'testing' inside of the live environment as such - typical practice would be to make a real transaction using a company credit card, or one that you are in control of. You can then logon to Stripe Admin and refund the payment once it succeeds.
This is the same with most payment gateways, although there are some that have test mode built into the live API, and used via a specific header, parameter or tracking identifier. Although, this is really just the same end result - you are still testing in test mode.
Use a 100% off coupon and no monies will be transacted. This should allow you to test the flow of things in livemode and make sure everything is in sync without posing a threat to Stripe as a company or your Stripe account.
Note: If you're testing a stripe subscription, you should immediately end the subscription, and delete the "customer" before you forget and it's ACTUALLY processed the next billing cycle.
Here's an example of creating and using 100% off coupons.
Disclaimer: I have NOT tested this method. But I believe my theory is correct.
You can use Customer Credit Balance (https://stripe.com/docs/billing/customer/balance) and use real credit cards to do some final testing of your live implementation. I just did it, it works perfectly and no charge is being done.
Good luck!
This can be accomplished from the Stripe dashboard in one of two ways. The set up for both methods begins in the same way.
Navigate to the Customers section of the Stripe dashboard, and create a new Customer object for yourself (or your employees)
Once you've created the new Customer, add the card details for the real card that you or your developers will using to test the live Stripe integration. This step is necessary because Stripe uses the card number to associate any test payments you make with the Customer you just created.
With the new Customer still selected, you'll see an Actions dropdown to the top right of the Overview page.
From here, you can select one of two solutions to waive costs for your new Customer:
Create a permanent 100% discount by selecting Apply Coupon and following the New Coupon link to create a coupon that can then be applied to your Customer's account
Create a credit balance for your Customer by selecting Adjust Credit Balance and setting it to a sufficiently high value
I recommend the first as it allows for more control. In particular, coupons can be set to never expire, unlike credit balances that will eventually hit 0 and require you to remember to reset it.
To prevent abuse or avoid creating an exploit for potential attackers, you can even set the coupon to be redeemed only as many times as you intend to redeem it, preventing it from being applied by anyone who doesn't require it to test your Stripe integration. In the below screenshot, I've set it to be one-time use.
After some other issues we managed to go live with the PayPal REST integration. Sandbox works fine, by the way, so we assume that the code is o.k.
Well this is what happened on live System:
My first customer initiated her first payment via paypal.
The payment request shows as successfully executed on the Paypal Dashboard. No error!
But the customer always got the message that something is wrong with their creditcard.
According to Paypal customer support the credit Card is fine (and the customer successfully made other payments using the same credit Card with Paypal) but that somthing must be wrong with the payment request.
But as mentioned above I cannot see an error in the dashboard nor in the logfile.
Paypal Tech Support is not responding (since over a week), so maybe somebody here has seen this before and can advise?
Thanks a lot

I’m integrating authorize.net into my web application. I’ve used the direct post method (DPM)to charge the account initially. However, for each transaction I also need to set up automated reoccurring billing. How would I go about doing this without asking for the information again, particularly when after DPM posts the initial transaction, the credit card data is no longer available?
I also would like to get the status of each reoccurring transaction so it can be confirmed and followed up on if necessary.
You can't do that with DPM as it takes the user's credit card information off of your website so you don't have access to it. If you want to make an initial payment and then use ARB to create a subscription you need to use AIM with ARB.
You need to use the ARB interface in order to do recurring transactions but there are a lot of problems with it, like lack of support (send an email and wait a couple of weeks for a non-helpful response for example) and weak documentation.
Documentation for SOAP interface for Authorize.net ARB:
http://www.authorize.net/support/ARB_SOAP_guide.pdf
And for the XMl interface:

I just switched off of Authorize.net to USAEPAY. Here are some reasons why:
1. When you use Authorize.net ARB, your customer comes on the site to sign up, and you send the ARB request to create the subscription and you get back a success code so you give the user the subscription. Then later that night they actually try to collect the first payment and a lot of times this fails, so you get a spreadsheet emailed to you the next day about the problem. This is terrible because now you lost the opportunity to say to the customer at sign up time that the card is declined. Goodbye sale!
2. I don't know if they added this recently but they didn't have a way to verify if a customer's credit card is still valid. Imagine 3 months into a subscription the card is over the limit, or cancelled, or expired etc. You don't know so how do you prompt the customer to put in a new card? You just stop getting paid, unless you want to manually open these spreadsheets and start emailing customers. YUCK.
USAEPAY works much better, the API is easier, its much better documented and you get email responses in 1-2 days and its less expensive. For example, you can query USAEPAY to get a list of successful payments, and verify that you shouldn't deactivate the account for non-payment:
http://wiki.usaepay.com/developer/soap-1.4/methods/getcustomerreport
Before you go too far with AuthNet I highly encourage you to save yourself a lot of pain and contact FranchisePaymentNetwork (FPN) to get set up with USAEpay.
They can even POST BACK to your website to let you know if a transaction is successful or not for recurring billing transactions and you can query it to verify that customer payments are getting collected so you know if you should expire an account or not.
I am not affiliated with USAEpay or Franchise Payment Network except as a satisfied paying customer / consumer of their services.
