transactions not working anymore with authorize.net USA (working only with authorize.net UK)

ST1 — Wed, 01 Mar 2017 16:12:19 GMT

Hello,

we are receiving this error message below for all new transactions since yesterday evening.
this is happening on production account (developer account works fine).
this is happening for USA authorize.net account (UK authorize.net account works fine which is using the same scripts).
we have not changed anything on the server or on the authorize.net account settings.
any suggestions?

thank you

Hello @ST1

This error suggests that Authorize.Net is unable to connect to your relay response URL after successfully processing your transaction request. If it works properly in sandbox but has started failing in production, it would suggest a change with your server preventing us from connecting.

thanks for replying Richard,

we have not changed anything on the server.

the relay response URL seems to work fine when Authorize.net is sending unsuccessful transactions. but the successful transactions never reach our server.

the relay response URL is not blocked by our host.

furthermore, we are using the same scripts for another Authorize.net account (UK) which works fine. this makes me think that it may be a problem with the Authorize.net account USA only, versus something on our server.

the owner account is verifying with authorize.net support those specific transactions ID that are successful but not redirected to our server. I'm not sure what to check next on my side.

Any update on this? I don't have access to our customers' live Authorize.net accounts but we're seeing a similar behavior where there are a LOT of timeouts starting today.

My immediate concern is I hope people aren't making duplicate payments by trying again

Switching from secure2.authorize.net to secure.authorize.net in our AIM connection (https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll) seems to have helped.

Something is wrong with the new URL?

Hi mgroger,

thanks for replying. we have open a ticket with authorize.net support and the problem has been solved. but they did not specify what they may have done.

for info and addressing your concern:
- we never used 'secure2.authorize.net', only 'secure.authorize.net'
- we prevent duplicate payment to be posted to authorize.net (preventing double-click)
- we never had any timeout issue, successful transactions were processed right away but not relayed back to us (unsuccessful transaction were properly relayed)

we have not changed anything on our side, but it works now.
