I am having a hard time deciding on which Authorize.net module to use AIM or SIM. If any one can provide some insight to which is a better option, easier to work with, etc., I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

According to DrByte, AIM is more reliable.

Re: Authorize.net SIM vs. AIM-Which is the better option?
AIM - requires your site to have an SSL certificate, but is more reliable and secure. Has a more professional image because payment is collected on your own site, meaning your customer's shopping and checkout experience is more refined and intuitive.
FAQ: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=373
SIM - should only be used if your site doesn't have any SSL support. Strongly recommended to use AIM instead..

Re: Authorize.net SIM vs. AIM-Which is the better option?
Why do you say that AIM is more secure and reliable than SIM? I'm considering SIM because I don't want credit card info entered on my site - I'd rather have the responsibility on authorize.net. What am I missing? Thanks.
