authorize.net and upgrading


Guest

Recommended Posts

Was wondering if there is a way to change the payment option default statement of 'authorize.net' to credit card as most customers more than likely will not know that authorize.net is credit cards.

 

Also is there any module anyone knows about so that I could use authorize.net's secure server like the shopping cart uses with Pay Pal?

 

Lastly, the script I am using is an autoinstall from my host. I attempted to install the new version, only problem for some reason the data base would not initiate correctly. Password, server, username etc was correct but didn't let me use it. Is there anyway to upgrade over the top of an existing cart without completely getting rid of the current one?

 

Thank you in advance for any help anyone can offer.

I can help you with the first part of your question. The following is a quote from a post I made a few months back. Like you, I felt "authorize.net" was a weird term for trying to get a customer to enter a credit card. I hope you find this helpful:

 

Hello Everyone,  

 

I just finished fixing my authorize.net credit card module of a few quirks.  

 

1) On the checkout page, it said "authorize.net" as the option for credit cards. This was somewhat confusing to me, and I can only imagine what customers were thinking. I changed it to read: "Credit Card". This only causes a bit of confusion when you go to admin because you have a Generic credit card option and an authorize.net option (which now reads credit card). I can keep it striaght!  

 

2) Credit Card Expiry Date? I was able to fix this as well. It now reads: Credit Card Expiration Date.  

 

 

BACK UP YOUR FILES!!!!!  

Both of these can be fixed by going to the catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/payment folder and opening the file called authorize.net. On line 13 change 'Authorize.net' to 'Credit Cards'. On line 18 change 'credit card expiry date' to 'Credit Card Expiration Date'.
