  • cURL Path

The correct path to the cURL command on your server if it is not compiled. Some other server settings may prevent cURL from working even if it is compiled. In this case, you may be able to make this module work by setting the cURL path to various default locations where cURL might usually be found on a UNIX server: /usr/bin/curl

  • Transaction Mode

There are three alternatives. Test, Test and Debug, and Production. Test mode runs tests with no recording of module function. Test and Debug mode runs tests and prints certain variables contents in a file. This filename is currently hardcoded - look in catalog/temp for a file named authdebug.txt You may have to change this filename depending on your servers security settings. You may also have to create a blank file with that name and chmod it to 777.

  • Transaction Method

Select Credit Card. Echeck support is not yet implemented.

  • Processing Mode

Authorize only approves the transaction, but does not transfer funds. Authorize and Capture does both.

  • Sort Order of Display

This is the order in which the payment module is displayed on the payment method selection screen by the checkout process module. It should be three digits and be a higher number than that of the paypal module if you are using this module with Paypal IPN.

  • Customer Notifications

True if you want authorize.net to send customer notifications, false if not.

  • Accepted Credit Cards

Select only cards your merchant account allows you to accept.

  • Authorize.net Payment Zone

You may create a zone in which you wish to accept cards by this method. If you enter a zone here, only those geographical areas within that zone will see this module on checkout.

  • Authorize.net Set Order Status

This is the order status to which this module will set an order if it is successfully completed. Processing is suggested.

  • Enable CCV Code

Enable or disable CCV code. Some merchant banks DO NOT USE CCV security checks. If your gateway is generating a lot of denials you should check to make sure this is set in accordance with your merchant banks policies.
