Using Authorize .Net for Credit Card Payment via Checkout
Once Authorize.Net is configured at your Cloud BSS, a new step will be displayed during checkout, where the credit card details are filled in. The payment is automatically routed and upon successful completion, the subscription is created. This page contains information as to the checking out process with Authorize.Net integration.
Making a Purchase for a New Customer
When a new customer checks out his basket, the button "Checkout" will be displayed for the customer to enter his credit card details.
This button will display an inline form for entering his credit card details.
E-Mail Address Registration
When the first Authorize.Net payment is made through the Storefront, the e-mail address of the Storefront user who made the payment for this BSS account is going to be registered on the Authorize.Net customer profile, regardless of the contact type.
When the first payment is made through the BSS the corporate e-mail address of the BSS account is going to be registered on the customer profile of Authorize.Net (and not the e-mail address of any contact).
By clicking 'Save' option, a token is stored in our platform, and the customer's credit card be charged automatically when a new invoice is generated for the customer.
Bank Account Option
Only US customers have the option of 'Bank Account' payment method.
Making a Purchase for an Existing Customer
When an existing customer checks out his basket, he can pay using one of the existing credit cards or enter a new one. These options are displayed in the Payment step. The cards displayed in this step are those the customer has used for previous charges.
Managing Customers Credit Card Tokens
Every time the customer purchase with a different credit card, a token will be stored in our platform for all the credit cards the customer used by. This token is available in the account details page, in Credit Cards section.
Please note that Authorize.Net allows up to 10 credit cards. Also, when a card has been linked to an order, this credit card can no longer be deleted.
The only information we keep in only the last 4 digits of the credit card.
The end-user has some basic management actions for each credit card. This can be accessed by clicking on the credit card number hyperlink:
Credit Card Priority
When the customer has more than one credit cards, the priority field is used for the system to know which credit card to use for the recurring charges. By default, the last card the customer added during checkout will have the highest priority but this can be changed from inside BSS.
Credit Card Status
If you set the status of a credit card to inactive, the customer will no longer be able to use this card in Storefront (it will not be available in credit cards list in basket) and the system will not use it for the recurring charges.
