Installing Payment Gateways

Authorize.net AIM comes with the core Business Directory plugin. No installation is required.

Configuring Authorize.net Gateway

2. Go to Directory → Settings → Payment
3. At the top, check Enable Payments.
4. Click on the Authorize.net sub-tab
5. Check the box to activate Authorize.net gateway option
6. Enter your Login ID from the Authorize.net account dashboard
7. Enter your Transaction Key from the Authorize.net account dashboard
8. (Optional, but recommended) Put the payment gateways in test mode. Uncheck this when done testing!
9. Change your currency, if applicable
10. Change currency display options, if you want
11. Turn on the abandoned cart emails, if desired
12. Save settings
13. Create one or more Fee Plans
14. You’re ready to test payments. Logout as Administrator and attempt to place a listing–verify that it goes through.
    1. Payments will not be taken if you are logged in as the administrator!

Once correctly configured, your payment options and Authorize.net configuration will look like this (production mode):

Your Login ID and Transaction Key should be different, of course.  In addition to the Authorize.net-specific settings, you should also have settings like this under the Directory → Settings → Payment → General sub tab:

The remaining settings including currency code and currency code placement are left up to you, depending on your preferences and needs.

You can also configure payment reminders for those who attempted to place a listing, but never complete the process (“Abandoned Cart Emails”):

And lastly, if you have the Discount Codes module installed, you can activate whether to allow discounts for listing purchases here as well.

Now you should be ready to receive payments via Authorize.net!
