Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, Samuel, but at least Authorize.net does not require a customer to enter information on their site. They are a gateway only, not a checkout system. We use Authorize.net for our store at http://cranio.com, and the customer never leaves the site during the process. Seth, I would recommend not hacking Satchmo's views at all. If it were me, I would create a custom checkout template(s) & my own custom checkout view that calls out to Satchmo's views where necessary & returns any and all information needed for the one-page checkout template. This would ensure a much easier development process for you, and be much more easily maintained over the life of your store, preventing you from breaking your upgrade path with Satchmo.
Implementing a one-page checkout isn't something currently available in Satchmo's existing code & templates, but it shouldn't be a problem to do so on your own, ensuring Satchmo remains untouched in the process.
