Most processors have a test server that will return pass/fail or random replies - that should allow you to test. Usually they don't want you to do that for a long period, just enough to test your code.

Alfred,

while that is true in most cases, Authorize.net (the gateway Caroline is using) has a pretty useless test mode.

It will validate all authorize requests and fail all other requests. And if I'm not mistaken you need to have an account with them before you can test your code.

All in all, not a viable option for Caroline's intent.
