Authorize.Net run tests in production live mode

Question

Using Authorize.Net, we know you can run tests in test mode in production. We can run tests in live mode or test mode in the sandbox. Can you run tests in production live mode with real credit card numbers and security codes? We are using the API and I can not find any documentation that says we can do this.

We do not want to charge the credit card when testing.

Answer 1

You mean can you take a real credit card and make a payment? Of course. Just be careful as using your own credit card to make a payment to yourself technically is not allowed but doing it once to verify an integration never raises a red flag.
