Authorize.net API question

sreichgut 24 Jul, 2009
I have used your authorize.net plugin to complete standard transactions and found it pretty easy to use. My question though, is it advisable for me to leverage that functionality beyond just completing the initial transaction? I am interested in being able to programatically add/modify/delete a user in the Authorize.net Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) system. I realize this would require new API calls that are not part of your plugin.

I was hoping I might be able to leverage the API integration you already had and implement these as additional calls instead of having to rebuild it from scratch.

Here is how I envision it working:
1) We build a standard Chronoforms form that obtains the information from the user
2) The form uses your existing A.net plugin to complete the initial one-time transaction.
3) Upon successful completion of that transaction, it would then call the additional API methods to register a user in the ARB system.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Steve,

I imagine that this is possible but I'm not familiar with this plugin or with Authorize.net. Max is very busy at the moment - you might get a quicker answer if you email him directly from the Contact Us page here.

Hi Greyhead and Max!

Any updates on this?

Is it added to latest version of chronoform, or is it on your to do list.

This would be really a cool feature.

Hi wajdan,

Not on my to-do list: I have zero experience with, or knowledge about authorize.net :-(

No idea about Max.
