Overview

If you use Authorize.Net to process credit card transactions, the Order Manager can interface directly with your Authorize.Net account. Payments for orders that are pre-authorized on your website can be captured automatically when you approve those orders in the Order Manager. The "virtual credit card terminal" at the View Orders screen allows you to process new charges, credits, etc. without re-typing the customer’s credit card information.

Note: The Authorize.Net interface requires an open connection to the Internet, such as a DSL or ISDN line or a cable modem. It is not intended for use with dial-up Internet accounts, although it may work if the dial-up connection is always opened before the Order Manager attempts to send data to Authorize.Net.

Configure the Order Manager to work with Authorize.Net

Click Save after setting each system parameter.

  1. Go to the Maintenance Menu>Maintenance tab>Set System Parameters. The Set System Parameters dialog box opens.

  2. Click on the Credit Card parameter group.

  3. Set CreditCardProcessor to Authorize.Net.

  4. Make sure that the CCInfoPrefix parameter is set to *ANET*.

  5. Enter your Authorize.Net API LoginID in the AuthNetUser system parameter and your Authorize.Net TransactionKey in the  AuthNetTransactionKey system parameter. You can find this information at the Authorize.Net website by searching for API Credentials under Account Settings. Make sure that there is no value specified in the AuthNetPassword system parameter.

NOTE: These system parameters can also be set specifically by shopping cart if you want to use different credit card processors for different carts. Users of legacy Authorize.Net accounts should still use their original username and password information in the Order Manager AuthNetUser and AuthNetPassword system parameters and leave the AuthNetTransactionKey parameter blank.

  1. **Important**: Set AuthNetTestMode to TRUE while you are setting up and testing the system. Set it to FALSE when you are ready to begin processing real transactions.

  2. Set AuthNetSendEmail to TRUE if you want Authorize.Net to send its own email confirmation to your customer upon the completion of a transaction. Set it to FALSE if you do not want Authorize.Net to send confirmation email to your customers.

  3. Set the following system parameters as you wish to configure how the Order Manager will handle your credit card transactions:

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Check the settings of the main and/or cart-based system parameter, WebTransactionType to make sure it agrees with your workflow. The choices are Pre-Authorize or Sale. If payments will be captured via the Order Manager, it should be set to Pre-Authorize. If payment is captured at the web store, it should be set to Sale.
