Test Your Processing System
Without Using Your Own Credit Card
Release Date December, 1999
This new feature will allow you to test your credit card processing system
without having to use your own credit card, or having to worry about voiding the
test transaction afterward. Here is how it works:
-
If you have an eTerminal account, select Enter New Order
from the Orders/Transactions menu of your eTerminal panel and click on the
Go button.
-
If you have a Toolkit or Toolbag account, click on the
Processing Without Database-eTerminal link at the bottom of your eManager
panel. Once in eTerminal, select Enter New Order from the
Orders/Transactions section of your eTerminal panel and click the Go button.
-
After clicking the Go button, a blank credit card
transaction form will be displayed. Type the word "testing" (no
quote marks) into the first field at the top of the form.
-
Hit the Tab key on your keyboard, and all of the fields on
the order form will automatically be filled in for you except for the Amount
field. This includes a Demo credit card number for testing use.
-
Enter a transaction amount into the Amount field as follows:
-
If you wish the test order to be "Authorized"
enter an EVEN dollar amount.
-
If you wish the test order to be declined through the
processor, enter an ODD dollar amount.
-
There is no need to Void any test orders that you place
using this method.
Payment Info Off/On Switch

invoice.

-
In the Orders/Transactions section of your eManager, select
Orders by Date.

Enter a date range for order(s) you wish to display.

on the left side of your screen that says "Payment Info On".

Select an order to view from the payment table and click on
it's order number.

Announcing Auto-Batch!
Release Date July, 1999
In response to numerous merchant requests, we are please to announce our new
automated batch closing system, Auto-Batch. Auto-Batch will be run each evening
from Monday through Friday, and will close/settle all Authorized credit card orders
in your Close/Settle Batch file. In addition you shall receive a Settlement Report
of each batch closed by Auto-Batch. This will include a breakdown of charges
based on the card type (Visa, MasterCard, Etc.) as well as batch totals.
-
If you wish to control which orders are batched when, be sure you
have your system set to Non-Auth Live so that you can Authorize them
when you are ready to fill and ship them. Orders that are not
Authorized will not be included in your Close/Settle Batch file, and
therefore will not be included in Auto-Batch.
