Setup and Testing AUTHORIZE.net payment module

[marcoren]

Can someone confirm that this is the process?.

 

1. Apply for the account.

2. Turn on authorize.net in admin section.

3. test orders. (How do I confirm they contacted authorize.net and worked?)

4. Flip the switch in admin to "production"?

1. yes.

2. no, install the authorize.net with curl contribution.

3. login to authorizenet and get to know it.

4. relogin to authorizenet and get to know it.

5. generate a 'transaction key' from authorizenet for your store.

6. test orders.

7. if you followed steps 3 and 4 you will know if the orders got to authorize.net

7. i use production after i install the contribution, do all testing there.

John,

 

What's the difference between the admin authorize.net payment mod and the authorize.net with curl contribution.

 

TIA,

Marc

u mean the default one with osC? the curl module is much better, geared more towards how authorizenet is going . .

John,

 

Thank you for the responses. Can you expand on that? What do you mean by "where a.net is going? "

 

 

I haven't found anything that says "this curl module is better because ..." (faster, more reliable, more secure).

 

Is it opinion? Is there anything concrete that I can bite into?

my opinion, although looking at it, is very similar to aim . . . either way you still need an ssl certificate
