Payment Modules

Satchmo currently has support for several different payment modules. This document will discuss some of the particular configuration items to keep in mind for each module.

Authorize.net

The authorize.net module requires that you have a valid authorize.net account. In order to get your transaction key and transaction login, go to the site and complete the account registration process. When you have completed it, you can fill in the appropriate fields in the admin settings to enable this payment processor.

If you have a test account with authorize.net and you log in through https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll, then you should use the default test URL. If you do not have a test account you will get an Error 13 message unless you change the URL to https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll. You will also need to login in to authorize.net and make sure your account has test mode turned on.

TrustCommerce

TrustCommerce configuration is very similar to authorize.net. You will need to go to TrustCommerce and get your account setup.

One special note with TrustCommerce - you must have the tclink libraries installed. You can get these from here.

Once the library is installed, you can fill in your login and password information in the admin config.

CyberSource

CyberSource operates similarly to TrustCommerce and Authorize.net. If you register at the CyberSource Site you will get all the credentials you need to configure this module.

Google Checkout

There are a couple of different ways to integrate with Google Checkout. Satchmo uses the XML option. When configuring your checkout account via Google, select: “Option A - Configure your form to submit directly to Google Checkout.”

It is recommended that you review the Google checkout documentation in order to understand how the process works.

Protx

This processor is included in the default Satchmo store.
