Minimum Fields Required

tylershuster — Mon, 04 Apr 2016 18:22:14 GMT

I'm developing a site that uses the Authorize.net PHP SDK to process transactions through a WordPress site. I've figured out how to submit transactions and they show up in my sandbox account.

What I'm wondering is the minimum number of fields required to complete a live transaction. I was able to get the transaction to register in the sandbox account with only the card number and expiration date. I know how to set CustomerAddressType fields, so which are required for a live transaction? Thanks in advance.

Hello @tylershuster

The minimum fields required are listed in our API Reference which include an amount, a card number and expiration: http://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/#payment-transactions-charge-a-credit-card Depending on the payment processor, other fields may be required.

Your merchant may have additional requirements to consider based on transaction reporting, etc.
