Simulating AIM response reason codes for testing

shkkmo — Thu, 02 May 2013 22:30:24 GMT

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to trigger a specific response reason code for testing purposes.

I found:

http://www.authorize.net/resources/files/ErrorGenerationGuide.pdf

but it doesn't seem to discuse response reason codes in general.

I'm trying to trigger an error response with a response_reason_code of 289 so that I can check and make a fallback AIM call if I need to.

Is there ANY way to do this?

Thanks,

Testing to Generate Specific Transaction Results

When testing transaction results in the developer test environment as well as the production environment, you can produce a specific response reason code by submitting a test transaction that uses a test credit card number designed to generate specific transaction results: this is Visa test credit card number “4222222222222.” This card number is intended for testing and should only be used for that purpose. Submit the test transaction either by placing the account in Test Mode, or submitting x_test_request=TRUE, with a dollar amount equal to the response reason code you would like to produce.

For example, to test the AVS response reason code number 27, submit the test transaction with the credit card number “4222222222222” and the amount “27.00.”

To test the AVS or CCV responses in the live environment, submit live transactions with the correct street address, ZIP Code and Card Code information to generate successful responses, and incorrect street address, ZIP Code and Card Code information to generate other responses. You can void successful transactions immediately to prevent live test transactions from being processed. You can do it quickly on the Unsettled Transactions page of the Merchant Interface. It is not possible to test the AVS or CCV responses in the developer test environment. For more information about AVS, see the Merchant Integration Guide at http://www.authorize.net/support/merchant/.

For more information about response reason codes, see Transaction Response of this guide.
