Integrating with Authorize.net

User payment options

With Authorize.net users can pay directly on your site using a credit card. See Authorize.net User Payment Process

Payment settings

Before you proceed with the following settings in your Wild Apricot account:

• Sign up for Authorize.Net merchant account service.
• After signing up, obtain an API Login ID and a unique merchant Transaction Key from within your Authorize.net.
  • Note that neither of these items are the login or password that you use to log into Authorize.net. They are completely separate from logging into your account and must be obtained from within your account, see Authorize.Net access settings.

Next, proceed with Wild Apricot Payment settings.

If you are planning to use Recurring payments with Authorize.net make sure to enable Customer Information Manager checkbox.

After you enter required information, click the [Check Integration] button to validate settings. See: Authorize.net Troubleshooting

You can define which credit cards you accept. You can also configure your settings so that the logos for those credit cards appear on your payment page. This makes people aware of what cards you accept, streamlines the process and avoids any frustration caused by people being unaware of how you accept payment.

Country & currency setup

Currency setup determines how monetary amounts are displayed in the system - and is used in online payment processing.

Currency should be setup at the very beginning and not changed afterward. If you change currency, all existing payment records, events etc. will not be recalculated and will no longer display properly in payment reports.

At the moment Authorize.net can be used with US Dollars or Canadian dollars.
