authorize.net's SSL order page

Recommended Posts

I've been having problems. I've been trying to configure osCommerce to work with authorize.net. When I get to the payment part of osCommerce, it is asking the user to input their credit card number while still at osCommerce. Using SIM, I have heard that I can somehow get transfered to authorize.net's secure order page for the user to input their card number, after that, authorize.net takes me back to osCommerce upon completion.

 

Am I wrong in this thinking or does everyone who wants a secure order page (SSL) and uses osCommerce has to purchase there own SSL?

 

Anybody who can help me hook-up osCommerce to authorize.net's secure order page would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't want customers to leave my site to pay anyway. You will lose sales like that.

 

You can just buy your own SSL cert, they aren't that expensive, and it will save you the hassle. We have SSL on our page, and are fully integrated into Autorize.net so that customers never have to leave our site. That's a big sticking point with some people.

 

So if I were you, I would consider breaking down and getting yoru own SSL cert, and using that.

Once you have the SSL how do you integrate that?

Firstly, if your site is on a shared server you'll need for your site to have its own dedicated ip address if you want to install a full ssl cert. You can't do it if your site is name based and using the shared ip address.

 

Once you've got the dedicated ip address, you need to generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) from your web hosting control panel. You'll need that when you buy your ssl cert. Once you've got the cert, import that into your web hosting control panel, and then ask your hosting company to reboot the server.

 

From there on it should be plain sailing. Where it says https_server and https_catalog_server just input your fill ssl address e.g. https://www.yourdomain.com, and set enable_ssl to true in both your configure.php files.

 

The only problem you may have is if your hosting company uses seperate folders for httpdocs and httpsdocs - in which case I'd advise you to move before buying your cert to a host that doesn't use the two-folder system.
