Hi,
Integration Method: AIM
Version: 3.1
Currently testing with my AuthNet Developer test account in Live Mode on this test account.
My website's payment pages are using SSL.
AVS Filter is enabled (I understand what the different filter settings do).
CVV Filter is enabled (I understand what the different filter settings do).
Using the excellent AuthnetAIM.class.php provided at http://www.johnconde.net/blog/tutorial-integrating-the-authorizenet-aim-api-with-php/ (many thanks and kudos to John Conde for making it available!) I successfully integrated AIM with my website yesterday and all of my tests of AIM have gone smoothly.
I have almost completed testing my AIM integration using my developer test account. I have a Merchant Account and a Production AuthNet account and will start testing later this week using my Production AuthNet Account.
The credit card form on my site is validating the credit card info per the validation rules specified at http://www.johnconde.net/blog/tutorial-integrating-the-authorizenet-aim-api-with-php/?.
The Card Code (a/k/a CCV) is a required field on my credit card form, and my question relates to testing the Card Code using my developer test account in Live Mode.
I understand how the special Zip Codes and Card Codes can be used in my developer test account to generate specific responses (E.g., I tested them using a test Visa card with the special Zip Codes and 3 digit Card Codes and produced the expected responses (response code and response reason text).
I understand that all credit cards except American Express Cards use a 3 digit Card Code when the Card Code filter is enabled. And that American Express Cards use a 4 digit Card Code
The validation of the submitted credit card form on my site will only allow a 4 digit Card Code for an American Express card. So far I have only been able to locate the special 3 digit Card Codes to generate the specific responses.
When I test with an American Express card, the validation on my site requires me to enter a 4 digit Card Code. I don't know of any 4 digit card code that I can use to generate that the response CCV card code matched, or any of the other Card Code responses. Consequently, I haven't been able to test the Card Code Filter matching rules using an American Express Card.
My question is:
Are there any 4 digit Card Codes that I can use with an American Express Card to generate all of the specific responses?
Thank you.
P.S.
I understand that the special Zip Codes and Card Codes only generate specific responses in the developer test account, and not in a Production AuthNet account.
I also understand how the 13 digit 4222222222222 test credit card can be used in the Live mode of a Production AuthNet account (or the Live Mode of a Developer test account) to generate specific errors by entering an amount that corresponds to the desired error to generate.
