The following settings are required in order for you to submit transactions to the payment gateway.

API Login ID – Create a unique Application Programming Interface (API) Login ID to identify yourself as an authorized user of the payment gateway when submitting transactions. Refer to the API Login ID and Transaction Key help file for more information.

Transaction Key – Create a unique Transaction Key to authenticate transactions that you submit to the payment gateway. See the API Login ID and Transaction Key help file for more information.

a thank you to donna for pointing out this thread to me

which shopping cart are you using? basically you have to tell the shopping cart to submit payments to authorize.net gateway. If you want a button, you have to then create a button that has the product info and tells the shopping cart to add the item to the cart (which means that programming of button will be different for each brand of cart)

Just thought I should add - in shopping cart management/admin area, if you see AIM Protocol (or similar reference to AIM), it's the same thing as authorize.net. Some carts have the configuration for authorize.net listed as authorize.net, others have it listed as AIM.

edit to add clarification - basically speaking, authorize.net has two different modes you can set it to on authorize.net side. AIM mode and regular. If I recall correctly, once you upgrade to AIM, you cannot switch back.

Steve, thats the problem, I dont have that. I have securepay.com and my processor is charge.com. Thats who I am currently using. When I want to create a button like (ADD TO CART, etc) All I have to do is log into their website, then click "add new product"... it will then ask me for the catergory, item #, item name, description, price and shipping and it does the rest. It gives me the HTML for the button to add to my site and that button takes them direct to the charge.com processor to pay. I dont have a shopping cart program! Steph

OIC. As far as I know, you have to have a shopping cart program to use authorize.net.

There are several out there that are free and easy to install and use. zencart http://www.zencart.com/ is pretty popular and easier than oscommerce to set up.

Steve, I cant figure any of it out. I guess I am just going to stick with what I got. The merchant account I use, all I do is log into their website, give the item a #, description, price and shipping and then submit and it gives me a HTML code to put on my page and it automatically creates the button and link. I am just too computer illiterate to use the authorize.net

Thankfully I got myself into a company that has no fee for cancelling, Steph
