Please review our guide on before attempting to test your gateways through Order Entry.
After you have created your gateway, you can test it by placing an order through the Customer → Order Entry page.
3DS Gateways cannot be tested through Order Entry.
To list a campaign on the Order Entry page you will need to make sure you have a Phone campaign created with the List in Order Entry option enabled. To do so, go the and add/edit a that is designated for testing new gateways. Be sure the List in Order Entry option is enabled and Save the campaign.
After you add or edit a campaign, click Offers, click Options, and click to Add Offer.
Inside the General Details of the offer configuration, choose any one of your base products and set the Gateway field to the new gateway you need to test.
Inside the Billing Schedule configuration, depending on if you need to test recurring billings or not, choose either One-Time or Recurring as the Billing Type.
Enter $1.00 into the Base Price field. Leave IsShippable? unchecked and the Ship Price field empty (unless you want to test fulfillment too).
Set the Cycle 1 price to $1.00 with a bill delay of 1 day.
Then set Cycle 2+ to $1.15 with any bill delay.
Leave Shippable disabled and the Ship Price field empty for both cycles (unless you want to test fulfillment too).
If a third cycle gets created you can either leave it there, or you can remove it by setting the cycle 3 bill delay to 0 days.
Next, go to Customers → Order Entry and run a live test on your test campaign by buying the campaign product that is assigned to the new gateway.
You will need to use a LIVE credit card in order to test the gateway. Test Card orders NEVER go to the gateway.
Once you have filled out the order form, including your live card number.
Select the test offer that you created.
Scroll down to the bottom and click the Process button.
From here you will either get a decline with a decline response from the gateway or be successfully redirected to the Completed Order page.
An error will pop up with the decline response from the gateway.
If this sale attempt declined, view the decline message from the gateway to see if any adjustments need to be made.
For example, “Authentication Failed” means that the credentials you entered into the CRM are incorrect. Please reach out to our support channel if you need assistance.
You will be redirected to the Completed Order page.
If you are only testing One-Time sales, and you reached the Order Summary page, then your testing is complete!
You can now apply your gateway to your live campaign offers.
If the campaign product you set up is Recurring, you can go to the Purchase Details page and click Force Bill Now to test rebilling.
Click “Yes, I’m Sure”
After you click “Yes, I’m Sure” a window will pop up stating that the order was successfully processed, or it will show the decline message from the gateway.
If the forced rebill approved, then that means the gateway is fully tested and ready to be used inside your live campaign(s)!
If the force rebill attempt declined, view the decline message from the gateway to see if any adjustments need to be made. Please reach out to our support channel if you need assistance.
