Authorize.net Setup

To Use This Page You Must Have the Following:

- Your account has been approved.
- You are clear that which type of account this is approved for - ( Is it a "card present" or a "card not present" or e-commerce account ? )
- You have online access to your authorize.net gateway account

Important things to know about using your authorize.net accounts with the auction software.

(You can also watch Authorize.net Videos on using your Auth.net account - E.G. API Login ID and Transaction Key, Address Verification Service (AVS), Card Code Verification (CCV) and Customer Information Manager (CIM).)

1. Authorize.net Card Present Accounts can be used only on event night at checkout and not to preswipe at checkin.

2. To preswipe at checkin you need an Authorize.net e-commerce account and CIM (Customer Information Manager) turned on in the account. CIM has a $20/month fee but can be turned on and off and you usually can do this through your gateway account.

3. Authorize.net - Card Vaulting Support needs to be selected from the dropdown in Event Night Processing if you want to preswipe cards at checkin.

4. Address Verification Service (AVS) should be lowered in order to not have failures because the Guest's address does not match the card's billing address. The address match is locked at the point of the vaulting so altering a guest address requires reswiping the card after an address change to have a different result.
