Right now I am able to test credit card functionality on development server using test/dummy credit cards. But not able to test the same functionality on live server. Are there any dummy credit cards, with which we can test the same on live site?

Previously I tested by buying low cost items from myself - that way you're only paying commission and you're getting most of the moneyback.

Admittedly you need 2 Paypal accounts, but that shouldn't be a problem, and you should only have to 'kick the tyres' in the live environment because all your testing will have been done in the dev environment.
