My experience with authorize.net is as follows: We are running AIM card pressent system and can enter card data manually in those cases where the customer has phoned in a purchase and given credit card information. In the case where the card is present and swiped, the contents of the enire track 1 is sent to the bank as x_track1 variable (processing entity) via authoize.net along with other required information via a CFHTTPS transmission -- approvals or denials are sent back. In the case where the card is NOT present, the card number, expiration info numeric part of the address and the zipcode is sent as separate variables via the same process -- approvals or denials are received back. As far as we are concerned the process is transparent at authoize.net -- however, at the bank or processor, they do keep track of whether track1 or the pieces comprising the contents of track1 and different rules apply plus the cost of manual transactions are more than scanned transactions. If you have questions, I suggest you contact Corey Koeing at [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- he is the resident program that is familar with CF and the what they do. Also, of interest is the fact that authorize.net does not handle Pin Debit transacitons -- debit cards are handle just like credit cards transactions and settle daily...
