you would use the payments gateways testing servers to process test transaction. How this is done depends on the gateway that is used.With Paypal, you can sign up for sand box api credentials, then set the Use Sand Box setting in the server behavior that processes transactions. For Authorize.net, there is a test request setting that sends a test transaction.

Thank Jason but I am currently developing my online store app and do not have access to Authorize.net nor do I want to pay there fees unitil I am really ready to test the credit card authorization. however I would like to simulate as though I had process the cc transaction via ecart so I can validate the database updates that ecart would make and my updates. Is there a dummy script I could use to simulate the ecart authorization part? ANy other suggestions?
Many Thanks
John
