Get Authorization check box
I've just set up the credit card processing feature and I'm testing it out. Everything seems to be working fine but I do have a few questions. We're using PayFlow Pro with our banking merchant account (Vital).
1. I put a bogus credit card # in the "Credit Card #" field and right when I tabbed out of that field a message popped up indicating that the credit card was not valid. Is this really going and checking somewhere for a valid number?
2. I put my personal cc number (VISA) in the "Credit Card #" field, but put in a bogus date. I checked "Get Authorization" and picked Save. I thought I would get a message regarding the date being incorrect, but I didn't. I then went the next step and actually charged the card thinking there's no way it'll charge it with an exp date that doesn't match the card number, but again I was wrong - it charged the card. Is it supposed to be able to charge a card where the date doesn't match? Shouldn't "Get Authorization" be catching
