  17. You’re ready to test payments. Logout as Administrator and attempt to place a listing–verify that it goes through. Payments will not be taken if you are logged in as the administrator!
IMPORTANT: Once you’re done testing, be sure to Uncheck “Put gateways in test mode” so you can accept real payments.
(Recurring Payments): Authorize.net supports recurring payments.

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. The remaining settings including currency code and currency code placement are left up to you, depending on your preferences and needs. You can configure these under Directory → Settings → Payment → General Settings here:

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!
