Test Mode allows you to test your connection to the payment gateway without actually authorizing or charging real credit cards or bank accounts. Transactions submitted while your account is in Test Mode are not stored by the payment gateway and will not be viewable in search results or reports.
After initial setup, your payment gateway account is placed in Test Mode by default. This allows you to immediately test your connection to the payment gateway before you submit real transactions. However, you may turn Test Mode on or off any time you need to test changes to your payment gateway connection or to restore live transaction processing.
To turn Test Mode off, click Turn Test OFF. A confirmation message indicates that the setting has been successfully applied.
