Hi,

I attempted to do this through the <@URL> tag and it wouldn't accept it.
Have you tried it through this route?

toapayment gateway

Hey Chris,

If you're serving https  on your site all you need to do is post the
form
from that to authorize.net's url

What we do to capture users info into our db easily is have the user
post
the form initially to an action where we create and populate the db
record.
Then we present them with the completed form to approve before making
final
submission. 

>From here we post to authorize.net using 100% hidden fields

<FORM METHOD=POST 
ACTION="https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll";>

send them their required parameters

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_Cust_ID" VALUE="your value">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_Invoice_Num" VALUE="your value">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_adc_url"  VALUE="http://www.your
domain.com/name.taf?arg=whatever">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_First_Name" VALUE="your value">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_Last_Name" VALUE="your value">

etc. 

Authorize.net processes the transaction and  sends you back whatever
args
you pass to them, a response code (1=passed, 2=declined, 3=error) and a
response reason code that elaborates on declines and errors (6= expired
card, 11=duplicate transaction for example).

We've had some sporadic problems with their general customer service but
the
form posting has been pretty straightforward for us.
