Looking for some quick assistance.

Hello,

My wife and I recently started a small business from home
and I have developed our website using php. Anyway, we
though we would set up an authorize.net account for credit
card transactions. Unfortunately after paying to get setup
I have found out that they don't support scripting development
of any kind. Not sure why they can't have some technical
support instead of only provide a couple of pdf files that I still need to look through.

I was wondering if anyone has developed a basic php script
to pass secure information to authorize.net that they would be
willing to share to save some time.

I think I only want to send the credit card info and the amount and description of the purchase and hopefully get a success
or failure message back.

I would appreciate any working script to get connected to authorize.net.

Sincerely,
Kim Hovorka

Hi Kim,

It's got absolutely nothing to do with PHP or any other kind of server-side scripting ... just an HTML form with the fields that they supply you with. That's why they won't be providing any support ... there wouldn't be any anyway!!

(You may also want some javascript to do a form check, but that's for a different forum).

Essentially, what happens is this: After the customer has typed their details into the form and clicked the submit button, the form 'action' sends the data securely to whoever's handling the transaction (authorise.net, worldpay, etc) using https (instead of http) to a supplied URL.

Assuming you use the web_link method, they specify the fields in this pdf and I'd be very surprised if they couldn't supply you with a template HTML form.

Hope that helps.

Paul.

I am looking into gathering some more information on how to incorporate the Authorize.net gateway in Flash cart... and I got into this page... Maybe this will help you abit if you choose to use their service...

Just out of curiosity... The PDF file from the Authorize.net says that there are some sample files available, but I am not able to find any... Know where I might be able to get my hands lay on them??? 🙂
