uhzoomzip Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I have been trying to get the authorize.net module to work but it only halfway works. I have no clue as to why and despite all my searces have found little that is helping me. There was a very recent post that gave me a clue but still it's not working. Does anybody have step by step directions on how to set it up on both the authorize.net side and the oscommerce side. That would be a great contribution for the documentation site. Anyway this is where I am: I have installed the osCommerce module and everything seems correct. I created the transaction key and plugged it in and I've tried the card transactions in both test mode and in production mode. I use a real card number in both modes and I get the same error either way. It says that the transaction was approved but that there was an error while trying to contact the site. I called authorize.net and they said it was a timeout errorand that the system is not communicating with the site. Ok so here is where I'm basically lost. It was suggested in another post that it is necessary to fill in the authorize.net information such as Receipt Page and Response / Receipt URLs which I put https://www.getdoors.com . Now I am not really sure if that's all I need to put in there but it doesn't seem like that is correct as it is still giving me the same time out message. So what happens is that even though the authorize.net site approves the transaction osCommerce never completes it so there is no record of an order and the customer never actually finishes the transaction through the osCommerce site. If someone could please help me fix whatever the problem is I would be ever so grateful. If nothing else please let me know if I'm doing something wrong as far as my posts because I really have no clue why previous posts have not been answered.

uhzoomzip Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 That response/receipt URL looks like it should work. Are you forcing cookie use? If so, don't. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok I guess I should just stay in this thread. Sorry. Been waiting all weekend for someone to help. I greatly appreciate your help. Cookies are not forced. I saw someone else with the same problem on the general boards. But he hadn't received any help either.

Please let me know if you need any more info as I would be glad to contribute anything I can to get this working. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> On the receipt url are there other places I need to insert that? Also it has options for link get and post as methods. Not sure which I should use. I tried the get and post method but not link. It seems like it should work with the get or post method. Is this incorrect thinking? I also put the same https://www.getdoors.com in Response/Receipt URLs Not sure if that should or should not be there. I'm sure if there was some oscommerce documentation I could muddle through this myself but I am just missing the solution. I know it must be out there but I'm just not getting it. I would be willing to pay for help if someone can help me get it working Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My site is www.fiftyniftytips.com I have the account setup with Authorize. The store is working like a charm, the check out is working like a charm, no errors what so ever, the buyers get the receipt from the Os commerce order with a successful message, BUT THERE IS NO MONEY GOING TO THE AUTHORIZE :) It looks like I am going to pull my hairs off... Authorize guys say that they do not support OS Commerce, and on OS Commerce forum , it seems like people who succeeded in making this thing work, do not visit this forum any more :)) Can anybody list the steps for the setups (Authorize.net side)? :o Also, I have been unsuccessful to find anything to download or to install on that Authorize module contribution. How do you guys find something to install? Any help? Thanks Edited August 2, 2007 by karimlo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you guys find something to install? Any help? Thanks I'm looking for the same thing. Except in my case no one is getting the osCommerce email receipts (I'm working on that) , when checking out (I'm pretending to be the customer) I can see when it is contacting Authorize.net, but then I get kicked back to the index page of my site. Authorize.net shows no transactions (I'm currently in test mode). So I don't think osCommerce is talking properly to Authorize.net, but I have the login in and transaction key both entered. I don't see what else I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see what else I can do. I figured that I had never updated to AIM module. ANd after couple of hours, I just succeeded in installing the authorize_aim.php module. Now my problem remains the same. Moreover, when I checkout, I see two Creadit card blocks. One with the CCV option and one without. I went and uninstalled the old authorizenet payment module that was installed, but I still see two blocks. I just ran a transaction. I got a successful message, but I haven't checked Authorize account yet.. :) I want to keep some drama... As to your problem, I have not had bad luck to get any error message yet, since it is my third OS commerce website... The others though are just fake, they do not process any transactions, the Client want to have a catalogue only... On this one, the client wants to keep it real, so I am stuck :) A big thanks to Anthony for his update and participation... I like that... This is a big answer for a lot of questions posted here... In order to make the Authorize account and Os Commerce work, there are certain requirements that you have to meet in order to be able to use the update Module: 1. You must have a valid account with Authorize Net 2. Your site must establish an https connection to Authorize Net 3. cURL must be compiled in PHP (check with your web hosts) 4. None of the above are optional! This module has been tested online and offline on different Apache based servers, using an AuthorizeNet Developer Test Account. It has not been tested on Windows servers. Good luck. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karimlo Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 YEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I see the transaction and the money in the Authorize account.... My client is going to be happy.... Dam, they got money from my credit card, though :'( So... Guys, My advice for guys who want to spend some money to make this work, - Get a webhosting with either ipowerweb.com or startlogic.com Make sure you ask for an account with SSL, (If you don't and want to upgrade later on, they will transfer you on another server and you will pay extra for moving the files etc... No good...) - These two hosts have a vdeck panel where you can install the OS Commerce automatically. - Open an account with Authorize, obviously... :) - Test authorize account and make sure everytning is working fine before you test your Os Commerce. - Get a transaction key from your Authorze pannel - Come back and install the AIM module on your OS commerce admin/ payment section (You will need to visit the following link to download the AIM module) http://www.calltheseguys.com/os/AuthorizeNet_AIM_1_2.zip and try it, the worst that can happen to you is having your credit card charged :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, the problem was a typo in the transaction key. I am no longer getting an error. It looks like all is working. My only concern is whether Authorize.net is actually verifying the CVV2 number. I don't know how to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teagish Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) I’m new to this thread, but having a similar problem. When customers check out on my site, they get this message on the Payment page: “Payment Method This is currently the only payment method available to use on this order.” But there is no payment method listed below the message. The customer cannot move past this point in the check out process. I’m using a merchant account from Authorize.net. I have an SSL certificate from GoDaddy installed, I have my Authorize.net Transaction Key entered into OSCommerce. My Authorize.net and OSCommerce site are in production mode. The only payment option that I have enabled is Authorize.net. My sessions look like this: Session Directory: /tmp Force Cookie Use: False Check SSL Session ID: True Check User Agent: True Check IP Address: True Prevent Spider Sessions: False Recreate Session: False My Authorize.net Module Looks like this: Enable Authorize.net Module True Login Username The one I use to log in to Authorize.net Transaction Key I copy-pasted it from Authorize.net, so there aren't any typos. Transaction Mode Production Transaction Method Credit Card Customer Notifications True Payment Zone None Set Order Status Order Received Sort order of display 1 What am I missing? I didn’t install the AIM module as instructed by Karim because my version of OSCommerce already has Authorize.net set up as a payment module. I don’t see why I need to install another one. Please help! Kevin Edited August 14, 2007 by Teagish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachael w. Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I've just installed authorize.net AIM and a test order went through and was approved perfectly. I receive the email from authorize.net, I received the email from osc stating the order had been placed (extra order email). So I am very happy about that. Now, my question is this. When the card is authorized and charged and returns an approved, is this supposed to be updating my order from pending payment to payment received? It is not currently doing that. I was hoping it would work like the google checkout module where each bit of the transaction is shown in the order in admin ie: authorized, approved, denied and so on. Did I just miss something in the installation? Thank you in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teagish Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I figured out what was wrong. My payment module called "Credit Cards," even though it was disabled, had a priority of "0." For some reason this was causing problems with Authorize.net's payment module. I fixed it by deleting the little priority number for every single one of my payment modules except for my two active modules: Authorize.net and Google Checkout. Now my site: http://www.TeagueProducts.com is ready for business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alivetekdragon Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Hi, Thanks for the details! May I ask what do you exactly mean by "Test authorize account and make sure everytning is working fine"? Thanks! Armored, I belive what Karimlo is referring to is using the Virtual Terminal in Tools on https://test.authorize.net to verify that you're getting a successful transaction. By the way, I'm new to using osCommerce and Authorize.net. I had a demo account created with Authorize.net which I was hoping would work with testing osCommerce on a test server. I'm wondering if the built-in Authorize.net payment module is considered SIM or AIM and if it will work properly for testing if I have a server that isn't available outside our network. I noticed that according to the Authorize.net documentation that I've read, SSL is not required. Is that true for use with osCommerce? When I try to make a test purchase I get "The following errors have occurred. (13) The merchant login ID or password is invalid or the account is inactive."
