Honestly - in all instances of any installements of authorize.net - My clients signed up for the account. And their FAQ's page had everything I needed once my client gave me certain login information. It was my first year developing in CF and my first commerce integration and it only took me 6 hours to figure it all out. I Never had to contact them so I really can't rate them.
The authorization process was simple - You send a few key variables through a URL string through a special secure link - and they send a string back - 1,2,3 etc - and you set up an if condition to meet each string. The documentation on all the error codes was quite easy. I also remember during testing I did live testing wtih a personal card ( even though they had special test card numbers) And you go into user secure area - approve charges you are going to fulfill - select others and hit void. All in all it seemed pretty easy. jay Lee Fuller wrote: >Thanks for the info Jason. > >I've looked at Authorize.Net again. Have had it integrated as part of >our storefront software for some time.
