Authorize.net (testing)

samoht 07 Jul, 2008
Hello,

I am having troubles testing my licensed authorize.net plugin.

I have set up my form and applied the plugin to it. I entered my API login id and my transaction key and then set the mode to testing (I also made sure that my authorize.net account was set to test).

However, I am not getting anything that tells me whether or not authorize.net got the info sent from my form?

Is there a tutorial on setting up this plugin?

Also, what are all the fields on the "general" tab of the plugin? (am I supposed to put my form field names in there??)

Thanks,

HI samoht,

Yes, otherwise ChronoForms has no way of linking your form values to the Authorize.net parameters.

Thanks Bob,

What is the syntax? - Do I use the curly brackets?

Also, in the amount field I will need to add my total values plus my shipping . since the values come from checkbox array can I do:
array_sum{checkbox}+{Shipping} ???

thanks

ok,

I added a totalamount field to my form and posted that info - so I now have the form working - it sends the info to authorize.net and everything seems to be correct but for some reason my table is not populated with the submitted form fields?

Is this because I send the info to authorize.net first and then to my db table so that the $_POST is now empty?

Also, authorize.net seems to be working (at least I got a response email with all the correct info) but I left a few of the fields blank because I didn't use those fields on my form. Is that going to mess-up the transaction? What about the card holder name, does authorize.net need that?

Thanks for the help,

Hi samoht,

I can't see any reason why the PlugIn should stop the data being saved unless there is a PHP error somewhere that stops the page processing. Try setting error reporting to Maximum and see if aything shows up.

I'm sorry, the questions about what data is needed you'll need to check out in the Authorize.net docs.
