Hello,

You can do a AIM auth_only transaction for $.10 then void it right away. You will be charge on the auth_only transaction.

Sample code is here.

You don't pay the $.10, you do a auth_only transaction on the credit card that you want to test. It doesn't have to be $.10, it could be $.01, $.05, etc.

Here is the documentation on all transaction type including void transaction type

You will need to talk to your merchant bank to know how much you will get charge on each transaction.
