I would like to set up my e-commerce site with the ability to use Authorize.Net's Customer Information Manager. This would allow the user to store their credit cards on their secure site to be used for payment when they place an order. Does anyone know of any addons to allow for this? Would anyone even recommend doing this?
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Has there been any progress on the CIM integration? We have noticed several items when dealing with checkout... Often, a single purchase item and a reoccurring item are chosen together. I call this a combo, a static item and a reoccurring item.
1.) nop doesn't seem to allow completion of checkout 2.) I removed the lock/switch, allowing it to pass
Then learned authorize.net handled the whole invoice as reoccuring... Or, if ARB was off, the whole invoice as One Time.
We have been battling with possibly capturing the invoice on checkout, splitting it, and passing to processes to authorize.net. That has issue as well.
The root cause of this comes to PCI DSS standards for storing data (CC), etc.
Thus, there seems to be two options to travel..... 1.) CIM integration 2.) Full saving and PCI DSS compliance of stored data, possibly rijndael class (AES 256) or better, that also leads you into hardware and server space considerations, as well as changes in standards, or advanced tests that batter your servers looking for a way in, to show a bank how good a pci test they are by failing you.
This, letting Authorize.net manage the data with CIM is a tremendous relief. I can imagine a user accessing their nop account, pulling in from authorize.net a connection with *******2344 and allowing them to update their info through the CIM
Then a good look at the checkout process with static and reoccurring items on same invoice.
actually when you create a customer profile in CIM it generates a CIM profile ID. You will save that ID in your database and then at the time of transaction you can simply pass the Customer Profile ID to CIM and that's it
Thats not really sufficient when you have a real store with a steady flow of traffic. Did anyone get a comprehensive solution for this? I would like to have to ability for my clients to checkout without entering any credit card information on reorders.
