Credit Card Processing Testing
Authorize.net Card Test Numbers
There are times when using a card processor like Authorize.Net that you need to test software without running real credit cards. There is an excellent article in the development testing guide on Developer Authorize.net which summarizes cards numbers that are used for testing.
I believe this requires your account to be setup in test mode but it is possible that live mode may accept them as well.
To make it easy here is an excerpt with the relevant information.
The following test credit card numbers will only work in the sandbox. Use any expiration date after today’s date. If the card code is required, please use any 3-digit combination for Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Diners Club, EnRoute, and JCB; use a 4-digit combination for American Express.
