Preparing Your Hosted Order Page or Simple Order API Implementation
 
* 
If you plan to use only the Virtual Terminal, skip this section and proceed with Going Live and Testing the Virtual Terminal.
If you plan to use the Hosted Order Page or the Simple Order API, you need to prepare your implementation before going live:
Step 1
Configure other parts of your account at this time or after going live, such as Smart Authorization or other users, which are discussed in Configuring Your Business Center Settings.
Step 2
For specific configuration information, see the guide for your implementation:
■
To configure and test the Hosted Order Page, see the Business Center Hosted Order Page User Guide.
■
To configure and test the Simple Order API, see:
●
Credit Card Services User Guide
●
Electronic Check Services User Guide
Step 3
To verify that your credit card implementation is correct:
Request test transactions, including authorizations, captures, and credits, with your own credit card. If you prefer to use test credit card numbers, use those provided below with any future expiration date.
Visa
MasterCard
American Express
Discover
JCB
Diners Club
Maestro (UK Domestic)
Solo

3800 000000 0006
6759 4111 0000 0008
6334 5898 9800 0001
To make it easy to tell what card(s) is processed successfully, you can use varying amounts for each type of credit card that you accept, such as $1.00 for Visa, $1.03 for MasterCard, and $1.06 for American Express. To simulate error messages with the Simple Order API, use the information in the Testing Simulator supplement.
If transactions fail, your payment processor information is may be incorrect. To confirm your payment processor information, contact your acquiring bank.

Although you can run test transactions now, make sure to read Preparing to Process Card-Present Transactions before you start accepting your customers’ orders. That section is crucial to understanding how you can process authorizations, sales, and credits successfully with the Hosted Order Page.
 
Step 4
If you want to process check transactions, prepare your implementation as follows:
a
Prepare your Web site. For detailed information, see the Business Center Hosted Order Page User Guide.
b
Sign up with a check processor by arranging this through your account provider.
c
Test your implementation by processing check debits and credits. For detailed information, see Debits, Credits, and Testing Your Implementation.
When your testing is completed, you are ready to go live.
