Hi, Im a bit of a newb dealing with Authorize.net. Was able to set it up farely quick with SIM, but having issues with AIM - it just hangs there when trying to complete the order.
What exactly is the difference between the two? I couldnt find any info about it on this forum. What are the advantages of setting up AIM?
Thank you for any help on this!

Re: Authorize.net SIM vs AIM
The AIM module accepts the credit card info directly on your site and then passes it securely to the gateway in the background. It has a tighter handshaking between your store and the gateway service than SIM, and typically has faster response times.

Re: Authorize.net SIM vs AIM
Ok. Just went through the tutorial and did everything step by step again. no real changes from what i tried before, but figured i'd try it anyway. The result did not change either - after i press "confirm the order" button on the last step of the order , the page just hangs there for about 30 seconds and then stops.
SIM is working just fine.
any ideas?
thank you!

Re: Authorize.net SIM vs AIM
GoDaddy's servers are configured with a different standard than the rest of the website hosting industry. They do a lot of weird things ... one of them is requiring the use of a "proxy" server in order for their servers to communicate to other webservers - including your Authorize.net gateway.
You can turn on the proxy settings by following the steps in this post: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61528.
