Hi Friends,

I want to use the Authorize.net and send the email to the user regarding the purchase. I saw the tutorial given but i dont know how to log in to the payment using the authorize. Can you explain me in steps clearly how to configure the authorize.net. I am not able to understand the tutorial. can you explain me clearly how to configure the authorize.net. and how to send the email. And also i have the card expiry in the form of dropdownlist of month and year and how to pass it.

Thanks

Reply soon.

Hi Sherlock,

After setting up your form, you go to Module Config, Payment Gateway.  Making sure you enable payment gateway to Auth.net, you can then go to the Auth.net payment gateway (check the test mode while still configuring and testing).  You will need to have a merchant account with Auth.net and obtain your login and verification code. 

Next, simply copy the example in the Additional Parameters box.  Notice to the right of that are 2 columns.  One is the Authorizenet Tokens and the other is the Field Tokens.  These field tokens are the short field names you used on your form.  Basically you're just telling auth.net that what they call &x_something is the same as your $(Shortname).  When you get that all set, make sure to update settings.

To send emails, go to Form Completion Events and select New Completion Event.  Name this event then select Dynamic Email.  Select 'any field response' in the dynamic field.

We then go to the email itself, enter the from address.  The 'Email to' should be the parameter with the short field name you set for the email field in the form. Check this against the column to the right and copy it exactly. 

You can also use these parameters (tokens) in the body of the email to customize.  For ex:  Dear $(FirstN) $(LastN) will render as Dear John Doe in the email sent. Also expand the Advanced Email properties to see more options.

I hope these basics help you.  Let us know if you have additional questions.

Hi Sherlock,

Yes, you can test this on www.betasprings.com (please use host & dnnhost as username & password).  Simply add a page and use Dynamic Forms as the parent page.  Then add the module to your page and freely test.

You will still need to have a merchant account with Authorize.net so you can fill in the required fields in the Payment Gateway under Module Config.  You can put your Auth.net account in test mode.  Also on our form,  make sure you are in test mode in Payment Gateway.

You can do an internet search for test merchant accounts to find test credit card numbers for testing.

A link to the user guide is available right there on the form.  You'll find a variety of settings that are available to you.  How to set up Authorize.net is discussed on p. 114.  Completion events like sending a confirmation email are discussed from page 129. 

Thanks,
Candace

I have signed up but i didn't receive any account from them. I went to the authorize.net and tried to sign up for the merchant account but didn't receive anything. Can you suggest what needs to be done?
