Offline Operation
Test 1: Testing alterations to a non-account order

NOTE: If the purchasing customer has not ticked this option, you cannot make additions to an order, as when using SellerdeckPay by ClearAccept, it is not possible to increase payment beyond what was originally taken in the order. In this case you would need to follow the instructions in the knowledgebase article here: - https://community.sellerdeck.com/for...by-clearaccept
If you have followed the tests so far, you will have downloaded a number of orders of both types, guest or account customers. Select a non-account ‘guest’ order.

selecting it and clicking the 'Confirm' button will bring up the same payment box with the options to pay available: -

What Next..

Although you would effectively be repeating the tests above, it is time well invested as it is better to resolve any issue while testing than to have problems when you have gone live.
Once you are satisfied that the payment method is operating correctly, do not forget to void or cancel all your test orders
