Authorize.net processor settings:
* Account Name: what you want to call this account. This is just a label for distinguishing this account from others.
* API Login Id: the API login id for the Authorize.net account. This is NOT the login to the Authorize.net web site.
* Transaction Key: the Transaction Key for the Authorize.net account. This is NOT the password to the Authorize.net web site.
* Account Type: either Production or Test. Normal accounts will be Production.
API Login ID and Transaction Key are from your Authorize.net account. When you create the account Authorize.net will give you the API Login ID and Transaction Key. If you forget the API Login ID and Transaction Key you can recover them or generate new ones under the Account/Settings tab of the Authorize.net web site.
To configure an Authorize.net account:
1. Sign up for Authorize.net.
2. Connect the account to your financial institution (so you get paid.)
3. Create the Center EX order processor account using the API Login Id and Transaction Key from your Authorize.net account.
4. View the new order processor account and
copy the Notification Url.
5. Update your Authorize.net account on the Account/Settings tab:
a. click the Silent Post URL link.
b. paste the Notification Url into the Silent Post URL field
c. click Submit.
We strongly recommend you monitor the email associated with your Authorize.net account. Authorize.net sends sends several different kinds of important account notifications in addition to transaction notifications via email.
Special Notes:
* Authorize.net does not immediately settle your credit card transactions. When Authorize.net accepts a transaction the transaction goes into the Unsettled Transactions list. Authorize.net periodically settles the unsettled list (usually at night.) When a transaction is in the unsettled list you can Void the transaction before it is settled. Once a transaction is settled you have to credit a refund.
* The Authorize.net DPM API does not support refunds so you have to log into your Authorize.net account to void a transaction or credit a refund.
* The Authorize.net DPM API does not provide fee information so the fee columns on the Orders pages will always be zero and the net columns will always be the same as the order total.
Refunds
The Authorize.net DPM API used by Center EX does not support refunds. To refund an order:
1. log in to the Authorize.net web site
2. go to the Settled Transaction list
3. find the transaction you want to refund. The partner id on the Center EX order is the transaction id in Authorize.net
4. click the Refund button.
