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!
