how to do Testing with production account

[Venngomez1]

Hi,

I got a developer account and do some testing on CIM APIs, and it works. now I'm trying out it with the production account against the api.authorize.net, in order to be sure, I turn on the test mode in the account and do a createCustomerProfileRequest, but it got:

The payment gateway account is in Test Mode. The request cannot be processed. (E00009)  

probably this will go away when the 'test mode' is off? but how can I do some test without really charging to a real credit card? thanks,

A.V.

1)validationmode = testmode, do not test the credit card info enter before saving, so no transaction will be generate. no fee. You have to ask your merchant bank to know how much is transaction fee.

with validationMode = testMode, I got following in email, does that mean there is a $1 charge even the accout is in test mode? Thanks,

transactionID is 0, so no transaction, no charge.
