how to validate credit card info(billing, card number etc) through authorize.net?

I'm not just talking about validating the card numbers' format, im talking about actually sending it through authorize.net(for instance) to validate the card info. Is there a way to do this without a transaction through authorize.net?

I already saw this link and its not what I'm looking for. I want to send the credit card info to authorize.net for validation/verification, not just validate the format.

If you are doing an auth_only (pre-auth), you need to make sure to either do a subsequent capture or void to capture or release the funds. Processors frown upon you if you rack up too many open authorizations left open more than a certain amount of days.

Have you thought of doing a zero dollar authorization for this? I believe if you send a 0 for the amount and pass the AVS field values, you may do a ZDA.

No. The only way to know a credit card is valid is to process a transaction. Only then is the bank contacted to validate the credit card.

FYI, I am the author of the article you linked to.
