Some/Most/All? bank merchant processor thingies will reject multiple
payments on the same card in too short of a time.
I think there are a zillion factors on that, and some will reject it
only if the dollar amount matches, and others will just assume
something is wrong even if the dollar amount doesn't match, and others
will assume you are just trying to get around some kind of dollar
limit or soft limit red flag warning and reject it and...
Basically, I'm suggesting that when you move into production and start
running real orders through, you're going to find that this is a BAD
IDEA, quite possibly.
It's possible I just had bad luck and ran into this as a
customer/programmer with two separate systems, and the other hundreds
out there don't do this...
You may be able to talk to your bank and get them to play along nicely
though -- I'm pretty sure my webhost did that as I have 2 accounts
there with one CC, and the second one was always having to be
hand-processed for awhile there, even though they were different
dollar amounts...
Or maybe the bank changed their policies, or maybe my webhost just
waits "long enough" in between the two transactions or maybe...
