Note - WePay customers: The person who set up the WePay account cannot conduct the test (or make future cc payments). WePay's fraud filters will reject transactions that include the email and/or name (on cc) used to setup the WePay account - their AI flags and blocks such transactions as potential money laundering or unauthorized "withdrawals".
Enter a name only*: Test Transaction, then click Generate Order button.
Entering name only will test for high AVS (Address Verification Settings) on your gateway. We recommend lowering AVS for your event to reduce the number of failures due to missing or incorrect billing address components.
