AuthorizeNet Plugin

AuthorizeNet payment plugin

AuthorizeNet connects AVideo payment/subscription flows to an Authorize.Net merchant account. Payment configuration is high risk: test in sandbox and confirm the current provider requirements before accepting real money.

Setup outline

1. Obtain an Authorize.Net merchant account and current API credentials from its official dashboard.
2. Back up AVideo and enable the payment/wallet/subscription plugins required by your intended flow.
3. Enable AuthorizeNet and start with sandbox enabled.
4. Enter apiLoginId, transactionKey and signatureKey; customize button labels if desired.
5. Complete successful, declined, cancelled, recurring and refund/cancellation tests.
6. Confirm AVideo grants access only after a verified provider response.
7. Move to production credentials only after reconciliation and webhook/signature tests pass.

Never place merchant credentials in browser code, screenshots or public logs. Restrict access to the plugin configuration and rotate exposed keys.

Common questions

A card was charged but access is missing: do not charge again. Match the provider transaction ID to AVideo/payment logs and reconcile deliberately.

Sandbox works but production fails: sandbox and production have different credentials/endpoints and merchant settings.

Can AVideo store card numbers? Do not design a flow that sends/stores raw card data in AVideo unless the provider's supported hosted/tokenized flow and your compliance obligations explicitly allow it.
