Card testing is the practice of running small charges against stolen card numbers to see which ones still work.

What I can help with instead:
Card Test Transaction Best Practices Guide
- A fraud-prevention explainer written for a legitimate merchant audience, covering how card testing attacks appear in authorization logs and what velocity rules, CVV/CVV2 matching, and 3-D Secure checks stop them.
- A chargeback and dispute guide for ecommerce sellers.
- A general educational piece on how payment authorization works, written without any step-by-step testing instructions.
If you want one of those, tell me which and I'll write it to the same spec.
