Prerequisites
As mentioned earlier, you must have a Braintree Gateway in order to safely and securely store and charge credit/debit cards. Before attempting to
charge credit cards please ensure that Ticket Evolution has completed your Braintree Gateway setup.
Testing Credit Cards in Sandbox
Test
Cards
The Ticket Evolution API Sandbox connects to Braintree’s Sandbox environment so that you can test creating credit cards and purchases without having to use a real credit card or worry about incurring any charges. The Braintree Sandbox only accepts test credit card numbers, nonces, and tokens and they provide a list of different cards, nonces, and tokens that do and do not results in errors.

Test Amounts
The Braintree Sandbox utilizes different test amounts to allow you to test various scenarios such as successful and unsuccessful charges. Please review their list of test amounts to ensure you are submitting the correct order total to match your desired test situation.

Test CVV/CID Numbers
The Braintree Sandbox utilizes different CVV/CID values in order to test different scenarios.

Testing the Address Verification System
Lastly, you can test different error and success situations with the Address Verification System (AVS) by using different street addresses and zip codes for the billing address of a card.

Creating a Credit Card
If your Client is using a new credit card that is not yet stored in the Braintree Vault it is recommended that you create the credit card before submitting the order. This allows you to programmatically review the response to ensure that the card is valid and that the CVV/CID response and AVS response are in line with your settings. To ensure that only valid cards are stored in your Secure Vault, a $1.00 authorization will be made and then immediately voided, as is standard practice.
Since we have already created a Client, as well as some addresses and phone numbers for that Client in the previous step we will utilize those as the billing address and phone number for the credit card we will create. We will use client_id 168188, address_id 645334, and phone_number_id 294725.
