Several authorize.net questions

[xao]

How does authorize.net module work? I know there is the "Authorize and Capture" and the "Authorize Only".

 

If my understanding is correct, the "Authorize and Capture" will authorize and charge the card right away, but my question is what if we edited the order to adjust shipping charges, etc... Would we have to look the specific charge up on the actual authorize.net website and make an adjustment there, a credit/recharge, etc...?

 

What about the "Authorize Only", what kind of information is obtained to coorelate the data between osCommerce and Authorize.net? Invoice Order#, etc??? Will those cards be in authorize.net's system where it is easy to 'approve' multiple orders/charges on their site? IE: A list of successful "authorized" inquiries, then a check box to "charge" it?

 

Another question, is I see sometimes during testing some error messages being logged in the apache log files as part of the return URL, but on the checkout_payment page, I just get a "Credit Card error" in a red box, how do I get the details from the error to display in the red box?

 

I think that's all for now.

 

Thanks!
