ColdFusion AIM integration

ColdFusion 9
MS SQL Server 2012
authorize.net API

In brief: I need to populate an authorize.net payment page using information from a form that is processed in coldfusion

Details: I need to do something fairly simple -- or, I am told it is simple. =) Here are the steps the client wants to happen:

1) A user fills out and submits a conference registration form; her information is processed and is put into a data table (good -- this part works!)

2) After she submits the form, she sees the authorize.net payment page where she pays conference registration fees (this is the part I cannot get to work)

3) Client would like the authorize.net payment page to already display the information (name, address, payment amount, and so on) that the user already typed in the ColdFusion form

Apparently the cfhttp tag is used for this, so I did some reading up on it: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/CFMLRef/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-7ffc.html

So... I use CFHTTP to send an HTTP request to https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll

I downloaded some sample code from authorize.net -- it is given below.

Here is where I get confused.

1) How do I connect my conference registration page at http://nnvawi.org/register.cfm to this authorize.net code, below?

2) I would like the registrant to register at http://nnvawi.org/register.cfm, then go to the authorize.net payment page and see all of her contact information, and the conference fee that she selected, already populated in the payment fields.

Is this possible? Has anyone here done this woth ColdFusion?

Thank you for your advice.

Eric

Eric:

The big question is whether or not you are interested in showing Authorize.net's own payment page, or one of your custom design.  You mentioned that you wanted a simple solution, so my opinion is that the former would be adequate for this application.  In that case, you would want to check out the SIM API (http://www.authorize.net/support/SIM_guide.pdf).  If you continue with AIM, you will be responsible for the payment data as it traverses your server, and you will need PCI compliance.  SIM avoids a great deal of this hassle by collecting the payment data on Authorize.net's servers - your server never sees it.  You can prepopulate the SIM form by POSTing the data from your register.cfm form when you make the transaction request to Authorize.net SIM.

 

So the flow would go like this with SIM (to answer question #1):

1. User fills out register.cfm form

2. Submit a form with POST to SIM containing the (verified) postback customer data, and the desired transaction amount.  This will redirect the user to Authorize.net.

3. Authorize.net will display the form to collect payment data and charge the customer.

4. You have the option of receiving a POST from Authorize.net called the "relay response" at the completion of the transaction.  This contains all of the transaction data (success/failure, auth code, etc).

 

With AIM:

1. User fills out register.cfm form

2. Display your form to collect payment data.  

3. On postback, send CFHTTP POST to AIM with the payment data.

4. Receive transaction response from CFHTTP.

 

#2: Yes, this is possible with SIM (by posting the customer data with the payment form request), or with AIM (by displaying it yourself).

 

Before you make a final choice, you should familiarize yourself with the SIM and AIM guides (http://www.authorize.net/support/AIM_guide.pdf). 

 

Cheers, Clayton

Dear Clayton, this is very helpful. I do not mind showing the authorize.net payment page. In fact, that is what I had in mind all along.

 

Your discussion of the difference between SIM and AIM is very helpful. I agree -- I should use SIM, and the procedure that you suggest:

 

1. User fills out register.cfm form

2. Submit a form with POST to SIM containing the (verified) postback customer data, and the desired transaction amount.  This will redirect the user to Authorize.net.

3. Authorize.net will display the form to collect payment data and charge the customer.

4. You have the option of receiving a POST from Authorize.net called the "relay response" at the completion of the transaction.  This contains all of the transaction data (success/failure, auth code, etc).

 

I read the SIM Guide that you referred me to: http://www.authorize.net/support/SIM_guide.pdf

And that was very helpful.

 

I need this register form to do two things:

 

1) display the authorize.net transaction page

2) populate the database table with the data that the user has inputted

 

I am going to work on that more today.

 

I'll come back here with my result.

 

I really appreciate your time.

 

best from Eric

Dear Clayton,

 

I was away on travel, and finally have a chance to return to this question. Thank you for your patience. I have been working on this problem all weekend and most of today.

 

I want to use the authorize.net payment page -- that is where I want the user to enter her credit card information. I do not want to have any credit card information on my server, and I don't want to deal with PCI compliance. =)

 

Here is what I have in mind:

 

1) User fills out registration form; selects desired conference fee (eg., Members Fee, 300.00), but does not enter CC info


2) User submits the registration form -- and then she sees an authorize.net payment page -- which is pre-populated with the correct fee amount based on the conference fee that she selected


3) And then she just fills out the authorize.net form, including CC information

Is that possible? I think I should use the SIM API -- do you agree?

Thank you again for your helpful advice. All best,

Eric

Hmm. I think I got it working. I adapted the SIM sample code, which is in better shape and is more concise than the AIM sample code. After some trial and error, and locating the correct API Login ID and Transaction Key, I am able to fill out a form, submit it, and view the authorize.net payment page -- where the user can fill in her payment details.

It took me a little while to figure out which API to use, and which sample code. =)

 

I might have some more questions about adapting a simple registration form to use with the authorize.net SIM API.

 

But, thank you very much for your time and help.

 

best from Eric

Assuming this isn't SPAM.  You might need to change the URL for Sandbox.

Better yet, use my API CFC and get off the old AIM API.
