Authorize.Net has three payment methods:
Miva Merchant only supports AIM. This is a traditional payment gateway and the one most commonly used by Miva Merchant store owners. Authorize.Net AIM does not provide merchant accounts directly, but it can connect to almost any merchant account.
Login ID: Transaction Key: |
Enter the Login ID and Transaction Key that you created when you set up your AIM account. The Login ID and Transaction Key are specific to your Miva Merchant store and are different from the credentials that you use to login to Authorize.Net. To find your Authorize.Net Login ID and Transaction Key:
|
Authorize.Net URL: | The URL that Miva Merchant uses to submit requests. This field is auto-populated. You should only change it if you are given a new URL by Miva Merchant or Authorize.Net. |
MD5 Hash Security Code: | The hash is an additional security feature from Authorize.Net. Enable the hash feature in your Authorize.Net account and enter the hash string they give you here. When a customer begins a credit card transaction, the hash string is set from your on-line store to Authorize.Net as an extra credential. See https://support.authorize.net/authkb/index?page=content&id=A588 |
Duplicate Window Duration: | Measured in seconds. When your on-line store sends a request (authorize/void/capture/refund) to Authorize.Net, Miva Merchant starts a timer. If an identical request (same credit card number, order number, and order total) is sent to Authorize.Net in the duration you set in this field, the first request is kept and the other requests are considered duplicates and are ignored. |
CVV2 Message: | The text that you enter in this field will appear in your on-line store during checkout when your customer enters their credit card information. Merchants usually use this field to describe the purpose of the CVV2 field. |
Charge Method: | Online (Automatic Capture): Authorize and Capture happen right away. Offline (Authorize Only, Capture Later): Authorization occurs when the user clicks the Submit button in the Payments page in your on-line store. To capture funds you must edit the order in Miva Merchant admin and click on the Capture button. Note that these settings also affect you when you manually create an order. For example:
In the Edit Order screen, you can see that the Capture button is greyed out and the funds were automatically captured after authorization. |
Use Secure Source Validation: | This feature is available to you if you have a merchant account with Wells Fargo, and they sell you an Authorize.Net account. Please contact Wells Fargo customer support to see if this option is the right choice for your account. If you enable this option, when your on-line store sends a request to Authorize.Net, your Login ID from Authorize.Net is replaced with a credential from Wells Fargo. |
Store Entire CC Number: | If you select this option, the customer's entire credit card number is attached to the order. If you do not select this option, only the last four digits of the customer's credit card are attached to the order. |
Test Mode: | Enable this option if you want to run test credit card transactions.
|
Discard Failed Order ID: | This feature has been superseded by the Duplicate Window Duration setting. If you are using Discard Failed Order ID, it will still work, but it is no longer needed. If you enable this option and the customer's credit card fails to authorize:
Please note that this option can cause errors if you are using a thirdparty module that takes any action with the order number. A third-party module has no way of knowing that the order number has changed and can take actions using an order number that Miva Merchant has deleted. This is not a problem for modules created by Miva Merchant, since those modules will be "aware" that the order number has changed. If you do not enable this option and the customer's credit card fails to authorize:
The customer can re-submit their order immediately |
Available Payment Methods: | Electronic Debit: This is an eCheck product from Authorize.Net that allows your customer to pay by entering their checking account information in your on-line store. |
Require CVV2 in Administrative Interface: | This option only affects you when you are manually creating an order through the Miva Merchant admin interface. If you enable this option, you must enter a CVV2 number in the Authorize dialog box when you create or edit the order. If you do not enable this option, the Authorize dialog box will still have a CVV2 field, but you can ignore it. |
