    Default authorize.net "Card Declined" response is unformatted

    When authorize.net rejects a credit card, the "Card Declined" response is an unformatted jumble of information. How do I handle the "Card Declined" response in an organized manner?

    I'm not sure I understand.
    Can you post an example?

    Would also recommend answering all the questions asked in the "Posting Tips". You can find the posting tips by scrolling up when typing a response (if on a phone click "Full Site" before replying). Answers to those questions will help people better understand your store configuration (needed for people to be able to help).

    I'm guessing the "complaint" about "jumbled mess" stems from the CSS styling being unavailable ... and that suggests that hard-coded http: paths exist to those assets, making them not load properly on https: pages. And nothing to do with Authorize.net

    That was my guess too... But was kinda strange seeing "https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll" in the URL bar of the browser... Almost like the OP's site is being "proxied" (in which case relative links to the CSS and other resources will probably fail)...

    I'll leave this one to the experts :-)

    Ya, Authnet SIM does that on returning the customer to the store.

    I'm having the EXACT same problem! How did you resolve this?????

    ... I'm using Authorize.net (SIM) When my customer's card is approved it redirects them to the checkout_success.php and everything is smooth. However, if the card is declined it redirects to: https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dllwhich is a garbled page with the "declined message" buried in the madness. I get dozens of calls asking if the transaction went thru. How can I fix this to have a professional response like the checkout success page when the card has been declined???

    Thanks for your help!!!

    Despite being able to trigger a Decline, I can't trigger the broken stylesheet problem ... on v154 and v155 anyway.

    You mentioned "checkout_success.php" instead of the normal "index.php?main_page=checkout_success". Are you using URL-rewriting of some sort?
    Which Zen Cart version are you using?
