Adding Custom Fields to SIM?

bdparker — Wed, 18 Oct 2017 19:44:53 GMT

I've managed to build a form which takes payment and processes it using SIM. It's loosely based on this: https://community.developer.authorize.net/t5/Integration-and-Testing/SIM-Sample-Code/m-p/55258/highlight/false#M30174

My challenge now is that I want to pass data to my transaction, such as customer details, seating choice, food preference, etc. I could do all this by passing it through the Description field (which is what I'm doing now), but I'm sure there's a better way.

Is there a way I can add extra input which will save in the Authorize.net's transaction? Right now, if I did something like this:

<input type='hidden' name='x_comment' value='I am text' />

it will show up in my transaction receipt.

========== MERCHANT DEFINED =========

x_comment : I am text

However, I want this to be visible when I access Authorize.net's transactions, click one, and look at the details. I don't see this information there.

How can I add this custom field so the data will show in the payment processing?

Thanks!

Brendan
