Help Needed: Better Handling of Failed / Declined Authorize.net Transactions

[getimo]

@Daniel Wagner: Could you please explain, how to get an Account? Does that cost any fees and do I have to use a reseller-service? So many question, I don't understand this authorize.net step. Could you please explain that for German merchants?

Thank you in advance for every help!

I'm really not sure. The client who I did work for had an existing Authorize.net account. I suggest contacting Authorize.net directly: http://www.authorize.net/solutions/merchantsolutions/onlinemerchantaccount/

Thanks, but what do I have to choose at this site?

There is a useful "How it Works" diagram: http://www.authorize.net/resources/howitworksdiagram/, and also a Getting Started Guide: http://www.authorize.net/solutions/merchantsolutions/gettingstartedonline/.

You can contact Authorize.net by calling 866-437-0476 or filling out the Merchant Inquiry Form on their website: http://www.authorize.net/solutions/merchantsolutions/merchantinquiryform/

Thank you for your answer. I already sent a request through this form 2 days ago but didn't get an answer yet. Do I have to pay a fee? I couldn't find an answer in their FAQ.

I've tried everything in the forum with authorize.net and nothing is working for me..

i'm hosted at godaddy.com.  I was wondering if any of you that have authorize.net working are hosted at godaddy.com.  If not, can you please let me know who you are hosted through?

Thanks in advance!

Tim,

Did you read this thread about Authorize.net issues with Godaddy?

I use Lunarpages for hosting - been pretty happy with them.
