Hi All,

At my work we have two Authorize.net accounts: one is the standard type to 
process web transactions and one is the "card present" type, which is 
supposed to require an actual credit card swipe.

For various dumb reasons my boss wants to use the card present account to 
process web transactions.

I tried bouncing a web transaction off the card present account, but not 
surprisingly got the error "account not authorized for that type of 
transaction" or some such.

My boss thinks that because you are basically doing the same thing with 
either account, IE sending a transaction request out over the web, you 
should be able to process a web transaction with the card present account.

I'm telling him that there is probably some information that gets sent along 
to the card present account that lets it know it is coming from the swipe of 
an actual credit card, so there's no way to "trick" Authorize.net.  If you 
could, it would obviate the whole idea of having a card present account.

Who's right, me or my boss?

-- Josh
