Advanced Integration Method (AIM)

Please follow the below instructions to integrate your AuthNet AIM ready shopping cart to our gateway:

  1. Login to your shopping carts administrative area proceed to the section where the payment modules/options are enabled.
    - If you don’t know how to access your cart’s administrative area, please contact the company that provided you with that shopping cart.

  2. Choose the Authorize.Net AIM option from the list of compatible gateways within your shopping cart’s administration area. [see Notes 1. & 2.]

  3. Enter your payment gateway username, where prompted. [see Note 3.]
    - This field is likely titled ‘username’ or ’login ID’.

  4. If prompted for a Transaction Key, enter your payment gateway account’s Remote Client Password. [See Note 4.]

  5. Change the payment script location to the below URL. [See Note 5.] https://{your-secure-payment-server-domain}/payment/pnpremote.cgi

    After completing these steps, your shopping cart should be integrated to our payment gateway.

    If you would like to test it to make sure, please enable the ‘Testing Mode’ in your payment gateway administration area, and follow the instructions within the ‘Online Help’ link (next to Testing Mode).

Notes:

  1. If your shopping cart does not allow for use of the AIM method, please feel free to ask the shopping cart provider to contact us to evaluate other integration options.

  2. If you don’t see an applicable option within your cart’s administrative area, check with your shopping cart vendor.
    Some carts may require you to download/install the module from their site, before you’ll be able to see it within your cart.

  3. This would be the username we assigned to you, at time of sign up.

  4. The ‘Remote Client Password’ can be created within the ‘Security Administration’ section of your payment gateway account’s Merchant Administration area. https://{your-secure-payment-server-domain}/admin/

  5. The location where you’re required to change the URL, so the cart sends its collected data to our servers, differs from one shopping cart to the next.
    Unfortunately we cannot tell you where specifically this is set and/or know if you’ll have sufficient access to the cart’s code to change it yourself.
    - In some cases, you may simply be asked for it by the cart’s administrative interface, when you configure the rest of the payment module’s parameters.
    - In other cases, this URL may be hard coded somewhere within the source code of that given shopping cart or payment module.
    You may need to work with your development staff and/or the shopping cart vendor to determine its exact location and how to change it.
