The sandbox module was designed for black_box testing to simulate communication with a 'Live' Processor. Specific transaction parameters will cause defined (below) responses to be returned. You can use Test Credit Card Information while testing via the sandbox module.

Phard Code

Note: A phard_code of 'SUCCESS' may be received for an approved transaction or a declined transaction. The 'SUCCESS' code simply means that the request was successful and no specific flag was provided by the processor. A declined transaction with a phard_code of 'SUCCESS' can be treated the same as a 'GENERICFAIL'
