how to validate credit card info(billing, card number etc) through authorize.net?


I'm not just talking about validating the card numbers' format, im talking about actually sending it through authorize.net(for instance) to validate the card info. Is there a way to do this without a transaction through authorize.net?

I already saw this link and its not what I'm looking for. I want to send the credit card info to authorize.net for validation/verification, not just validate the format.


Solution

  • No. The only way to know a credit card is valid is to process a transaction. Only then is the bank contacted to validate the credit card.
