Capturing amount again and again

[sonika]

Hello everyone,

I am using Authorize.net AIM methodology to perform the payment gateway transactions , now we are making payment in two setps

1. I am using Auth Only to authorize the amount of a card of customer.

2. I am using Prior-Auth-Capture to capture the authorized amount which I already authorized using Auth Only method, now the problem is if I hit the Prior-Auth-Capture again and again it is giving me success every time so my question is why there are multiple captures allow for the single authorized transaction. what should I do to restrict this thing ?

Thank you in advance.

It shouldn't allow to, are you running it on test mode? using transactionID?

[sonika]

Yes I am working in testmode using TransactionID. Is it will not happen if work  on Live Mode?

Thanks in advance .

When you use Test Mode, it only confirms the API Login and Transaction Key and returns success if valid.  It does not actually create a transaction and nothing is stored at the gateway.

If you are running in the sandbox, you should never use Test Mode.

Yes, on a test/sandbox account, just run everything in livemode.
