Testing for the acquirer advice code
When processing recurring payments, some acquirers may return an acquirer advice code in the response. The acquirer advice code is a numeric value used to indicate if further recurring payments can be processed for the given card.
How to test for different acquirer advice codes
You can test that your system responds appropriately to different acquirer advice codes by processing transactions with the following attributes:
| Visa | ||
| Acquirer advice code returned | Card number | Base amount |
| 0 | 4111111111111111 | 1050 |
| 2 | 4000000000000671 | 1002 |
| 4 | 4000000000000671 | 1004 |
| 8 | 4000000000000671 | 1008 |
