Configuring a Gateway that Supports Authorize.Net Emulation

Authorize.net is one of the most popular gateways on the internet. As a testament to their product, the API hasn't had to change a whole lot since it was introduced in the mid 90's. One popular approach for competing gateways to take is to expose an interface to their gateway that looks identical to the Authorize.Net API. This allows existing shopping carts to quickly support a range of additional gateways that allow look and act like Authorize.Net. If your payment gateway is not listed on UltraCart, but has Authorize.Net emulation then you can still use it with UltraCart.

To configure your gateway go to:

Main Menu → Configuration → Checkout → Payments → Transaction Gateways

Scroll down and check the box for Authorize.Net Emulator as shown below.

After you check the box a set of configuration options for the gateway will appear. Below is an explanation of each option.

Field	Description
Authorize.net Emulator API Login	This is the login name that is provided by your gateway. If you are unsure of this value, ask your payment gateway for the x_login value.
Authorize.net Emulator Transaction Key	This is basically the password that UltraCart uses with your gateway. If you are unsure of this value, ask your payment gateway for the x_tran_key value.
Authorize.net Emulator URL	This is the URL to the script on your payment gateways website that receives the API requests. Your payment gateway should be able to product you this complete URL.
