TRANSACTION AMOUNTS: The test environment will approve and decline transactions based on the penny value of the amount field. For example, a transaction made for the amount of $399.00 or $1.00 will approve since the .00 penny value is set to approve in the test environment. Likewise, a transaction made for the amount of $5.35 or $13.35 will get declined since the .35 penny value is set to decline in the test environment. Transactions in the test environment should not exceed $1000.00.


DUPLICATE ORDER NUMBERS: Since Moneris only provides a shared test environment, you may get an error about duplicate order numbers. If this should happen, you can change the value of the Pinnacle Cart order number to some high value (eg. 10001) to avoid the problem.
