Authorize SIM - (97) This transaction cannot be accepted.

Have you tried using the more-secure and highly-preferred AIM module instead?

i dont have SSL on my site, dont know how to do that...

so i wanted to go with the SIM first and make sure it works..

its weird, i have it all setup, but when i go through the ordering process, i click credit card, but on the next page there is no where to put my credit card number.

anyone?

Since SIM module takes you to the authorize.net website to enter the credit card details, you'll have to contact authorize.net for support about why that's not happening for you specifically.

when i click on the credit card option for payment, then i hit next, i got right to the order screen, but it dosent go anywhere etc.
no redirect

Are you referring to the "checkout-confirmation" screen?

See, the challenge of using an off-site payment method such as SIM is that the customer has to leave your site. Thus, the checkout flow is broken up. The redirect happens AFTER the confirmation screen.

In the case of SIM, the flow is this:
1. Checkout-Shipping (choose a method)
2. Checkout-Payment (choose a method)
3. Checkout-Confirmation (review payment details before clicking Confirm to go to site to enter CC info)
4. redirect to authnet site, to enter CC details on the authnet website
5. return to store with Checkout-success

If you use AIM or another live gateway that collects CC details directly on your site, the checkout process is cleaner and less confusing:
1. Checkout-Shipping (choose a method)
2. Checkout-Payment (choose a method, AND enter your CC numbers/details)
3. Checkout-Confirmation (review payment details, and when you click Confirm, the payment transaction is handled silently in the background)
4. Checkout-Success screen appears with confirmation of payment being accepted.
