Use this resource “How to Set Up Authorize.net Payment Gateway” at Redstage’s Magento Blog for more information on how to set up the Authorize.net payment module in Magento. The article shows where to get the API and Transaction Keys, as well as where to enter them into Magento.

As with most payment gateways, the steps involved are a matter of:

Gathering the appropriate information (provided by the gateway service)
Enter the information into the Magento Admin Panel
Activate the payment module

No “greetings readers” here, although anyone reading this is more than welcome. The purpose of this blog is to serve as a utility for me to log my thoughts related to programming. Often times when I’m working on a project, I’ll encounter an issue that I’ve encountered before. The problem is that I don’t necessarily remember the solution, and I have to go through the whole process of “figuring it out” all over again. With this blog though, I’m hoping that I can (going forward) document my issues and solutions in case I return.

What kind of programming do I do now? I’m heavily engaged in web development, predominantly the Web 2.0/AJAX practices. I work for RedStage Networks, based in Hoboken, NJ. I’m glad to be part of a highly engaged and enthusiastic team, always working with cutting edge technology.

So if anyone ever reads this, then happy reading. If not, then “memo-to-self”: tag, tag, tag, tag your posts. How will you ever find solutions if you don’t tag your posts?
