The Authorize.Net Advanced Integration Method Payment Gateway option in Sueetie Marketplace and how to configure and use it.
Simple Community eCommerce with Authorize.Net
Sueetie gives you two different approaches to using Authorize.Net as your eCommerce Payment Gateway, the Authorize.Net Server Integration Method (SIM) and the Advanced Integration Method (AIM.) You can read more about those APIs at the
Authorize.Net Developer Site, but simply put, with SIM, the credit card entry form and receipt are housed on the secure gateway server. With AIM, Sueetie handles the credit card entry and receipt generation. For both, all authorization and transaction processing occurs on the gateway and no customer credit card information is ever stored on a Sueetie Marketplace database.
This document covers the Advanced Payment Service only. See the Sueetie Authorize.Net SIM Integration for using the Server Integration Method.
Configuring Authorize.Net Server Integration Method
To use the Advanced Integration Method where your site houses the shopping cart, payment form and receipt display, select the appropriate Authorize.Net AIM Payment Service in Sueetie Marketplace Administration.
Once you select Authorize.Net AIM you will enter the configuration information for the account as shown below.
Sueetie Marketplace Checkout
Unlike PayPal Direct or the Authorize.Net Simple Integration Method, Authorize.Net Advanced Integration Method gives you the ability to keep customers on your site throughout the entire transaction. Below are screenshots to walk you through the checkout process in Sueetie Marketplace using AIM. It is important to note that prior to implementing AIM you will need to get an SSL Certificate to encrypt your marketplace checkout pages.
The checkout experience starts in the Sueetie Marketplace Shopping Cart.
The "Secure Checkout" button takes the user to your secure (HTTPS://) checkout page where the user's email address is auto-populated and the user is asked for his or her first and last name. Note the "Country" dropdown field. This only displays if any items in the shopping cart are of a Sueetie "Physical Product" Product Type and thus require shipping information.
The Shipping Information form displays if the purchase is a physical product and requires shipping. Otherwise the Payment Information form is displayed.
If you have your Authorize.Net Gateway Account set to use a 3-digit Security Code you can uncomment HTML code found on the page source.
"Complete your Order" performs the transaction via the Authorize.Net Gateway AIM APIs. If the transaction was approved, the customer is taken to the Complete Checkout page where their purchases are displayed.
If an error occurs during the transaction, a site-configurable message is displayed to the user.
When an error occurs an email is sent to the Site Administrator and the exception logged in the Event Log.
