Authorize.net Customer Information Manager (CIM)

[b2tech]

Hello,

Does anyone have experience integrating Authorize.net's Customer Information Manager (CIM) into shopsite? Are there any known 'best practices' for integrating Authorize.net CIM with shopsite?

Can it be done via the order API?

Is there anywhere to find more information about integrating Authorize.net's CIM with shopsite? (running 8.3 pro).

Thanks!

It is not possible to add new payment methods to ShopSite. There is just too much internal work that has to be done validating data, making the secure connections, updating database fields in a number of locations, displaying the order in the backoffice etc.

An OrderAPI script is executed after ShopSite has finished processing the order. If you were to use the OrderAPi to implement a payment gateway the order would be finalized in ShopSite before the contact to the gateway is initiated, so there would be no way to put that information into the order.

I suggest you add an enhancement request in this section of the forum http://support.shopsite.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=9 to see if the feature could be implemented in a future version of ShopSite.
