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 happens, you can change the value of the Pinnacle Cart order number to some high value (eg. 10001) to avoid the problem.
