authorize.net Sim or Aim Difference?

I just set up an authorize.net account and choose Sim because it's the first one. Which one should I choose? This is a basic website selling a few items and is not going to be huge.

I follow the directions I put in a 5 letter md5 keyword and updated that in the authorize.net website. In the Authorization Mode, what does Authorize and Capture means? I put in authorize for now and put in testing mode.. Right now I see that it is in Pending Mode.

For Gateway I put in Offsite..

Now when I test the order out on my website I choose Credit Card and go to proceed and got this error message?

The following errors have occurred.
(99) This transaction cannot be accepted.

What happen? and should I keep the Sim or change it to Aim. Is Aim easier? Thank you!

ps. there is no credit card logos on the credit card payment pay? Just Mycard logo...

AuthorizeNet AIM is the better of the two ... I would suggest you switch to AIM ... :smile:
