Set up an Account

Sign up for Authorize.net account

  1. Go to Authorize.net's website (or call them) and sign up for an eCommerce account. When the account is created it is set up as a blended account. This allows you to process both Card Not Present (CNP) and Card Present (CP) transactions from one account.
    • While it is possible to order a strictly Card Present account, you would only do this if you will only take credit cards in person and won't take payments over the phone nor allow customers to make payments online. We strongly recommend going with a blended account for more flexibility in the future.
  2. Be sure to ask them about Customer Information Manager (CIM) if you want to store cards. This is included at no extra charge.
  3. When Authorize.net says your account is "Live" this means your gateway is ready. But it doesn't necessarily mean that you can process transactions. You must be connected to your merchant account as well. Contact your merchant account provider and tell them you will be connecting to Authorize.net. They will say something like, "Great, we'll build you an Authorize.net profile" and they will give you a "Terminal ID" and related information.
  4. Contact Authorize.net with the terminal ID and related information to complete your gateway configuration.

  4. Change the Currency if needed (F).

  7. Go back to the Authorize.net browser tab and copy the API Login ID (noted in step 4 of prior steps above).

You are all set! If you run into any issues or errors please refer to the troubleshooting steps below.

If you plan to accept credit cards in person, you can find links to order a generic USB swiper in the supported hardware section.

 

Troubleshooting

If after completing the setup you aren't able to process a transaction,

  1. Go to Admin > Reports > Payments > Payments Report.
  2. Once here, click View on your recently failed transaction.
  3. If you see this error, "This transaction cannot be accepted - Authorize.net Reason Code: 103, Response Code: 3," you will need to get a new Transaction Key from Authorize.net (see steps above).
  4. After doing so, go to Admin > App Center > Authorize.net app card.
  5. Paste this new key into the Authorize.net API Transaction Key field and click Save.

If you receive a "A duplicate transaction has been submitted" error when intentionally trying to process the same card for the same $ amount, wait two minutes and try again.

"The request field(s) are either invalid or missing" error — This indicates you have custom fields enabled in your Authorize.net account. You will need to disable that requirement and try the transaction again.
