Problem with Authorize.net

[theclay]

I installed the authorize.net aim module and configured it, but I get this error when trying to process accounts:

"Transactions of this market type cannot be processed on this system"

I contacted Authorize and they said the problem was one of these:

1) You are attempting to process a type of transaction that your account is not designed for. An example would be using a card swipe machine to process transactions on an e-commerce or mail order/telephone order (MOTO) account.

2) You are passing an incorrect value to x_market_type. If you are using a Retail account you want to pass a 2. The Implementation Guide for card present transactions can be found at http://www.authorize.net/support/CP_guide.pdf.

3) Your merchant service provider may be incorrectly setup for this account.

4) The product type (SIC code) is incorrect for this account.

I added a x_market_type = 2 to the hash but that didn't solve the problem. Has anyone else had issues with authorize aim, and/or is there something I need to do or is this a problem with the merchant account and/or authorize.net?

In an online store, you're not doing "Card Present" transactions. All online transactions are considered "Card Not Present" ... essentially because the card is not swiped.

So, the problem is with your merchant account configuration.
