Auth only cc transactions how to w/authorizenet module?

I want the shopping cart to just authorize the transaction with authoriznet.
i don't want it captured. I want to manually go into authorizenet to capture in case i need to adjust some totals at a later time.

i'mcurrently using a shopping cart from charge.com
that has an option that you just check to have auth only transactions.

but i was looking at the authorizenet module in os commerce.. which i want to switch to. .. i don't see a " send transactions as auth only" type option.

can this be done? i've tried searching for an answer or module or something dealing with this but not even a mention about it anywhere in my search.

anyone know if this can be done?
thanks!

All you need to do is make an edit to the authorizenet php file. There is a line set to auth_capture. All you need to do is change it to auth (or whatever the authorize net code for auth only is).

Then it will just auth the card and not capture the funds.

thanks!
i couldn't find in the authorizenet.php file where this line was.. so i determined that if it's not there it's default that it'll be auth-capture so i added this line

tep_draw_hidden_field('x_Type', AUTH_ONLY) .

right underneath the following line in the authorizenet.php file
$process_button_string = tep_draw_hidden_field('x_Login', MODULE_PAYMENT_AUTHORIZENET_LOGIN) .

i tested it and it worked!
for anyone else who might be trying to change the auth with capture to just auth only.

You couldn't find it because in MAX the define is actually in /modules/authorizenet_direct.php

Sorry about pointing you to the incorrect file!

Glad you have it working...

I found neither authcapture line nor the code the guest mentioned...can someone help me set the authorize.net to auth only

Hey Christy,

I am using the latest version of the authorize.net module. It is setup to allow selection of the auth type in admin. It was a little bit of a chore to get it installed as I had done some serious modding to get GV and an invoice number to authnet. If you are up to it, the module is worth the upgrade. Including adding an invoice number to the auth.


To change just the auth type.. I beleive the field you are looking for is X_Type and you want it set to AUTH_ONLY .

You can find this in the authorizenet_direct.php file located in catalog/includes/modules/

The specifics above might be a little off as I am using the latest autnet mod. But it should be real close.

thanks very much....


I didnt know customers couldnt pay for gift vouchers through authorize.net.

I will look into mod... may need to upgrade i guess.

thanks again

The problem I was referring to was not paying for gift vouchers through authnet, rather there was some trouble with the order total comming out correctly when applying a gift voucher or discount coupon using authnet.

where do you download this updated authorizenet module to include the order number and fix the voucher problem?

Please keep in mind that you cann't simply follow the instrcutions for the mod if you are using MAX. You need to use a file-compare utility to manually make changes to your files. There isn't that much to do, but use good quality tools and be detailed oriented. Simple mistakes can take hours to figure out.

I suggest using a program like UltraCompare made by IDM Computer Solctions, Inc.
