The first step is to create yourself a new Transaction Key. You will need to input this Transaction Key in the osDate admin area before you can begin accepting Authorize.Net payments. You will also need your account login.

On the Authorize.Net page, click on the "Settings and Profile" link in the left column. Then, click on the "Obtain Transaction Key" link near the bottom of the page.

Go through the necessary steps to obtain this key (it's self-explanatory, so I won't repeat it here). Copy this Transaction Key in a safe, secure place. Now, click on the "Silent Post URL" option, again in the "Settings and Profile" page.

Input the full http:// or https:// path to your checkout_process.php file. This is located in the osDate root folder.

Now, login to the osDate admin panel, and edit the Authorize.Net option. Leave all options at their defaults, except change the "Username" value to your Authorize.Net username, and change "Transaction Key" to the Transaction Key that you've obtained (see the steps above).

Now, when a user chooses the Authorize.Net option for payment, they will be redirected to the Authorize.Net website for payment. On successful payment, your system will be notified via the checkout_process.php file, and the user's profile will be upgraded appropriately.
