"The required transaction key is empty! " (SOLVED - sort of)

[LightnSalt]

Joomla 1.5.9
VirtueMart 1.1.2

My payment set up generally like following:

Active?: (checked)
Payment method name: authorize.net
code: 007777
Payment class name: ps_authorize
PAyment method type: "credit card" checked
Accepted card types: visa,mastercard, am-ex
Shopper Group: -default-
TEst mode? "no"
Authentication type: AUTH_CAPTURE

I have API login and Transaction Key from Authorize net and I have typed in.  However, it still not working.
I had tried to use all listed code, AN, EN, 00777 --> not working
I tried to set group ID as "shopper" ----> not working
I tried to upload ps_authorize.zip as paid re-written scrip by Joseph Kwan ---> not working

Always the error message show as:

Error: Failure in Processing the Payment. Technical Note: The required transaction key is empty! The payment method settings must be reviewed.
Error: Failure in Processing the Payment (ps_authorize)

Is there somewhere I could change to make it right?

Worked perfectly. Joomla dev should change the wording of the field labels in the Authorize.Net payment method. I was up til 3:30am two nights in a row trying to figure this out.

Okay Folks... I may be trying to make this simple, but here goes. I owe Erik at Sankuru.biz all the credit for this.

If you are not processing a lot of orders a day, then you really don't need need to use the credit card function? Have the order sent to you and then process it manually. Use the PayPal Module and the COD Payment Methods under Shopper instead.

Follow these steps:
Unpublished the Credit Card payment method type, rename the COD to Credit Cards and make sure you check the cards you want to use. Then, make sure you have the discount to 0.00 other wise it will also display. Then publish it. It was that simple!


I hope this helps others.

well i was having the problem of not being able to setup the transaction key
this post helped me:
where it says

"Authorize.NET ID:" enter Authorize.net API login ID

when changing your transaction key
"Please type in your User Password:" enter the JOOMLA ADMIN PASSWORD
then input your trnsaction ID, then your JOOMLA ADMIN PASSWORD AGAIN!

thats it

@arana thank you SO MUCH! This fixed it for me, I was not putting in my Joomla Admin password. Fixed for me thanks!

Go to authorize.net payment method configuration page. Put in your transaction key to make it work.
