Enabling API Access on your Authorize.net Account
First you will need enable access to the API for your Authorize.net account.  This is done by following these steps:

  • Login to your Authorize.net account and choose "Account" from the main menu bar.
  • Click "API Login ID and Transaction Key" under the heading "Security Settings".

Adding your Authorize.net Account to SuperManager
Next you will need to add your Authorize.net account to your SuperManager file.  This is done by following these steps:

  • Choose "View" | "Admin" from the main SuperManager menu bar to switch to the admin view.
  • Right click in the empty area of the batch list and choose "Add Account" from the popup menu.
    Note: if you have a lot of accounts/batches already defined in your database, you may need to scroll all the way to the bottom to find some empty space
  • Enter a name for the account, set the type to "Authorize.net" and enter the login and password for the Authorize.net API.
    Note: This is not the username and password that you use to login to the Authorize.net back end.  In the back end, you'll need to enable API access and retrieve your login id and transaction key

Choosing Authorize.net As the Account to Use to Charge Orders
After setting up your account you will need to specify it as the account of choice for making transactions.  This is done by following these steps:

  • Choose "View" | "Store Settings..."
  • From the list of stores, choose the one for which you want to use the Authorize.net account
  • From the dropdown menu below "Make manual transactions through:" choose the name you just  to the Authorize.net account.

After modifying these settings, any new manual transactions will be performed through your authorize.net account.

Note: Also note that you can now download settlement batches from Authorize.net automatically by clicking on the "Get Batches" button on the Admin screen
