Disabling the test credit card numbers?

Hi,

We have finished testing our setup and we're ready to go "live" - we are collecting the credit card info for off-line processing at the end of the day.

I can't figure out (or find any settings) to disable the test credit card numbers, i.e. 4111111111111111 etc. ... Does anyone have any hints on how to turn them off?

THANKS!!
Jeff

Those are 'universal' test numbers - usable with all processors. They won't pass on a live system.

Re: Disabling the test credit card numbers?

Right, of course they are - but because we're not connected to live (on-line) card processing, I was wondering if there was a way to disable those numbers (without me having to dig through the php code to disable them myself manually ;-) ....

TIA!

If they pass standard mod10 algorithms, they will not be rejected by the offline module. It's up to you to validate the transaction before fulfilling the order.
