Another option would be to go with Kagi (http://www.kagi.com). They
have a module that you can put into your Revolution application for
this.

Since posting a related question back in early December, we've signed
up with Authorize.net to use their card processing payment gateway. We
need to get credit card information from our Rev application to
Authorize.net and retrieve the results of the transaction back to our
app. (We do not have the ability to do any of this from a standard
browser. It all must all happen from within our Rev application.)
Configuring the data fields and data stream Authorize needs is not
difficult. The question is, how to establish and open the secure
connection.
The following information is from the Authorize.net implementation
guide. Given this info, it seems we might need to use the Open Secure
Socket and Encrypt commands to start the process, but we really have
no idea of the syntax required. Also, how is an SSL certificate
involved in this process?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How Does AIM Work?
When using AIM, transactions flow in the following way:
1. The Merchant’s server initiates a secure connection to the
payment gateway and then initiates an HTTPS POST of the transaction
data to the gateway server
2. The payment gateway receives and processes the transaction data
3. The payment gateway then generates and submits the transaction
response to the Merchant’s server
4. The Merchant’s server receives and processes the response
5. Finally, the Merchant prints a receipt and obtains the
cardholder’s signature to complete the transaction
What is Required to Implement AIM?
Merchants must be able to perform the following functions in order to
submit transactions to the gateway using AIM:
1. Establish a secure socket connection
2. Provide both server and client side encryption
3. Develop scripts on a Web server for the integration to the
gateway (e.g., for submitting transaction data and receiving system
responses)
AIM Implementation
To implement AIM, a developer would design a script that can do the
following:
1. Securely obtain all of the information needed to process a
transaction
2. Initiate a secure HTTPS form POST from the merchant’s server to:
https://cardpresent.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll
3. Receive the response from the gateway and process the response
to display the appropriate result to the end user
Note: For reasons of security, use only port 443 for AIM
information transfers.
