Performing Test Transactions
Simple Explanation: These test transactions will help you to confirm that
your modem is set up properly and working with your payment processing
company. Since these test transactions will be performed using a live credit
card number, actual funds will be transferred to and from your account. If you
get an appropriate response from these transactions (as described below),
you'll be ready to begin processing "live" transactions using PCCharge.
1. Click the Credit Card Transactions button. This button is at the far left of the
PCCharge icon bar (near the top of PCCharge's main window).
2. PCCharge will display the Credit Card Sale window. It will look similar to the window
displayed below, but will may vary slightly from what you see in your copy of
PCCharge (since different credit card processing companies offer different abilities).
3. You'll need a credit card with an active account (use one that has adequate funds for
testing purposes). We suggest that you use your own credit card, since you'll be
transferring funds from that card's account to your business' merchant account. Enter
the credit card's number into the Credit Card Number field. Make sure that you enter
the number without spaces or dashes.
