Q: Does Monetra have a test mode I can use while integrating?

Yes, Monetra provides a built in (offline) processor module called 'Loopback' that can be used for black-box testing.

Overview: The Monetra 'Loopback' processor module was designed and implemented to replicate the base functionality of a 'Live' Processor for testing, training and development environments. Currently the Loopback module supports the following transaction types:

  • Credit Cards
  • Debit Cards
  • Electronic Benefit Transactions (EBT)
  • Gift Cards
  • Administrative (i.e. reports, users etc.)
To make use of the 'Loopback' processor you will need to perform the folowing steps:
  • Ensure you have Monetra Loopback Module installed and activated. Note: You can verify this via the Monetra Manager-->Processors-->'Monetra Loopback Emulator' window.
  • Add a Monetra User account with the processor (proc=) set to loopback. Note you can use the Monetra Administrator utility to add this user account.
  • Run transactions against the Monetra Server using the login credentials created when adding the user account.

Note: The 'Loopback' module was designed for black_box testing against defined transaction amounts (i.e by supplying a certain amount you will force a defined repsonse back from the Monetra Server). Any amount other than the ones listed below should return a valid Authorization (AUTH).

Test Parameters:

Valid AVS:
Street: 5800 NW 39th AVE
Zip : 32606

AVS which will cause a transaction denial:
Street: 2831 NW 41st St STE J

Any other AVS will decline the AVS but not decline the transaction.

Valid CV:
Visa/MC/DISC: 999
Amex : 1234

CV which will NOT cause a denial:
Visa/MC/DISC: 123
Amex : 9999
