Running Live Test Purchases Before an Event
Because the OMS mobile app connects directly to live merchant payment gateways, you should follow this exact procedure when testing card reader hardware before a live event:
Process a test purchase of $0.01 (plus any applicable processor handling fee) using your real card.
Verify that the reader captures the card and generates a valid confirmation receipt.
Mandatory Same-Day Void: You must void the test transaction before midnight (12:00 AM EDT) on the exact same day. If voided before midnight, the transaction is canceled cleanly with no funds withdrawn. If left past midnight, the charge settles and must be refunded the following day.
