Sample code for Simple AIM using ASP

jbooth88 — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:17:10 GMT

I've been having trouble getting authorize.net to work. I downloaded the sample code, signed up for a test account, and replaced the x_login and x_tran_key, but it always gives me this message:

3
2
13
The merchant login ID or password is invalid or the account is inactive.
P
0
19.99
auth_capture
F5FB0412546E713FCEC05FA033DCD235

I've also tried my company's normal x_login/x_tran_key combo and it says the same thing. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you.

Try viewing the browser page source when you run it. Make sure there isn't any extra space.

It looks to be about what I expect it should, besides the error message:

Sorry, what I mean was at the "Submit Payment" button screen, check the loginID, transactionKey, etc.

Oh, right. Well the x_login/x_tran_key strings don't have any extra space.

post_values.Add "x_login", "7c6BAa7Q8Ku"
post_values.Add "x_tran_key", "7kzH87fM8Scm53ff"

That's just my test account that I activated this morning.

I just try it with your test account info and it work fine. You didn't change the URL to secure.authorize.net which is for production account?

and sometime it required to set the

objRequest.setRequestHeader "Content-length", post_string.length

Added that line in and it's giving me the same thing.

Can you run that with something like fiddler2, because it look to me that it is not sending any of the post values.

Ah! It's working now. It had something to do with the SSL configuration. Thank you for working with me this morning.
