Coming from PayPal and Need guidance

pinkstonm — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:42:59 GMT

We are new to authorize.net and would like to go this foute in favor of our current paypal process.

We are a youth sports group where parents register their children for tournaments.

1. enter player information and select tournaments on first page (ASP)

2. save entered information on previous form in access db, presents payment page with paypal paynow button

3. paynow button when clicked routes the customer to paypal via the following code:

When the transaction is complete in paypal, the ipnpaypal.asp is executed automatically on our site to post paid to the transaction.

Can we do this with authorize.net and are there any practice native ASP examples we can use?

Yes, the most similar API would be SIM. ASP isn't officially supported by Authorize.net any more, but there are code examples for ASP Classic which may work for you, or which you can convert:

https://developer.authorize.net/resources/files/samplecode/asp_sim.zip

Also take a look at the documentation PDF:

http://www.authorize.net/support/SIM_guide.pdf

<!--#INCLUDE FILE=”simlib.asp”--> 
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION= "https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/ 
transact.dll"> 
<% ret = InsertFP (APIloginid, sequence, amount, txnkey) %> 
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_version" VALUE="3.1"> 
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_login" VALUE="the merchant’s API Login 
ID"> 
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_show_form" VALUE="PAYMENT_FORM"> 
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_method" VALUE="CC"> 
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_amount" VALUE="9.95"> 
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Click here for the secure payment form"> 
</FORM>

So how does my system know that payment was made?

Re: Coming from PayPal and Need guidance

pinkstonm — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:11:31 GMT

Part of the registration system is that we update our access file with the players that have registered and currently when paypal processing is complete they execute the IPN module on our site that updates the record paid. How do I obtain status information as to the result of the trasaction and update my access DB?

Re: Coming from PayPal and Need guidance

TJPride — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:32:00 GMT

Well, the easiest way would probably be to turn on relay response.

<!--#INCLUDE FILE= "simlib.asp"--> 
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION= 
"https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll"> 
<% ret = InsertFP (APIloginid, sequence, amount, txnkey) %> 
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_login" VALUE="the merchant’s API Login ID"> 
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_version" VALUE="3.1"> 
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_method" VALUE="CC"> 
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_show_form" VALUE="PAYMENT_FORM"> 
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_amount" VALUE="9.95"> 
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_relay_response" VALUE="TRUE"> 
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="x_relay_url" VALUE="Any valid URL"> 
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Click here for the secure payment form"> 
</FORM>

Note that you have to also go into your control panel and set the relay response URL there to match the one you specify here, otherwise it will be rejected. The relay URL then receives the POST, determines if it's a valid transmission from Authorize.net and if the transaction went through ok, then sends back another URL that Authorize.net forwards the customer to for their receipt. Here is the PHP version so you can get a basic idea of the structure. I've added some notes and cleaned it up slightly.

<?php
require_once 'anet_php_sdk/AuthorizeNet.php'; // The SDK 
$redirect_url = "http://YOUR_DOMAIN.com/receipt_page.php"; // Where the user will end up. 
$api_login_id = 'YOUR_API_LOGIN_ID'; 
$md5_setting = ""; // Your MD5 Setting 
$response = new AuthorizeNetSIM($api_login_id, $md5_setting); 
if ($response->isAuthorizeNet()) {   // Can ignore this if not using MD5 setting
if ($response->approved)       // Check response code to see if it's 1
   { 
       // Update your database
       $redirect_url .= '?response_code=1&transaction_id=' . $response->transaction_id; 
   } 
   else 
   {
       $redirect_url .= '?response_code='.$response->response_code . '&response_reason_text=' . $response->response_reason_text; 
   } 
   // Send the Javascript back to AuthorizeNet, which will redirect user back to your site. 
   echo AuthorizeNetDPM::getRelayResponseSnippet($redirect_url); 
} 
else 
{ 
echo "Error. Check your MD5 Setting."; 
}
?>

does anyone have a sample asp version of the response url?

Re: Coming from PayPal and Need guidance

RaynorC1emen7 — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:17:20 GMT

Under "DOWNLOADS" on top of the page then "sample code".

Re: Coming from PayPal and Need guidance

I guess my biggest concern is that we are not sure which process we should use and try and integration with our registration DB which is access.

We are most familiar with ASP

All we need to do is be able to have our parents fil out a registration form then be given a payment page, once they pay we just need something to update our registration db that they have in fact paid.

Very simple with paypal, but does not seem to be with authorize.net.

am I wrong????

Re: Coming from PayPal and Need guidance

RaynorC1emen7 — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:49:06 GMT

Just like TJPride said, sound like PayPal is close to SIM.

Have you read the SIM documentation? Personal, I think they are very simple. And they have sample code in ASP classic code.

Form Post -> Authorize.net CC entry -> relay response.

Just pass registration info along as merchant defined fields to authorize.net and get it back in the relay response post.

tried to run the code but am getting include file not found

Re: Coming from PayPal and Need guidance

pinkstonm — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:21:12 GMT

tried to run the following but keep getting simlib.asp not found when infact it is there

Is your code and simlib.asp in the same folder?

Also did you download and look at the sample code. they are different then that in the documentation.

Re: Coming from PayPal and Need guidance

pinkstonm — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:56:50 GMT

Okay made some progress, got the code to run on my site and got the submit button to display however when I click it I get the following:

The following errors have occurred.

(99) This transaction cannot be accepted.

here is the cade I placed in my ASP checkout

Re: Coming from PayPal and Need guidance

RaynorC1emen7 — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:00:23 GMT

DO NOT pass x_transactionKey.

And here the tool to test x_fp_hash.

https://developer.authorize.net/tools/responsecode99/

Re: Coming from PayPal and Need guidance

pinkstonm — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:59:05 GMT

okay confused I still get 99

when I did the page you gave me I got a fingerprint, passed that and still got a 99

plus fingerprint was equal too

fingerprint = HMAC (transactionKey, loginID & "^" & sequence & "^" & timeStamp & "^" & amount & "^")

any other hints on how to get around this

should I pass x_trans_key?

Re: Coming from PayPal and Need guidance

pinkstonm — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:14:33 GMT

Okay got it to work

can I get shipping information not to show, are there options to tell it what to show and perhaps pass some of the information?

once detail is submitted what happens where do I return to?

Re: Coming from PayPal and Need guidance

pinkstonm — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:33:52 GMT

I was able to get the hosted payment form to display on the sandbox, we have signed up for a authorize.net account but while we are waiting I am wondering what happens in the flow next after the user fills out the Hosted Payment form.

Do I have at my disposal (the asp page that called the hosted payment form) the result of the payment? Somehow I need to post into our regiatration DB that payment is completed.

Re: Coming from PayPal and Need guidance

RaynorC1emen7 — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:25:40 GMT

The setting for fields show on the credit card entry screen is on the merchant account

Account - Settings - Payment Form - Form Fields.

Receipt Options

Once the info is submitted can either do

Relay Response Basics and Troubleshooting

hosted receipt page

Re: Coming from PayPal and Need guidance

pinkstonm — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:14:53 GMT

I implemented the following code I found (relay response asp) which worked but curious as to what generated the email back to the buyer? I would like to make sure I get a copy and would like to change the title of the email.
