[ch11cva]

Hello,

I'm PHP developer.

I need to do credit card authentication (not payment) in my project. is it possible to do only credit card (visa,master & amex) authentication in authorized.net. What i need to check is only credit card is valid with cvv number.

If its possible then please guide me how can i implement it ?

Thanks & Regards,

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.

But i only need authentication then why i need to pay $.10

& what is void ?

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.
