Are you sure that this amount is not too low for authorize.net ? It could potentially be because of a non ASCII character in the name of your products: [ www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Forums/foru...078/scope/posts.aspx](http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Forums/forumid/114/postid/450078/scope/posts.aspx) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzgyNjk1LWVycm9yLXByb2Nlc3NpbmctdHJhbnNhY3Rpb24tMjcwLWxpbmUtaXRlbS0xLWludmFsP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[cpaschen](/forum/user/12420-cpaschen "View cpaschen's Profile")** - [![cpaschen's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar_2013-01-25.jpg)](/forum/user/12420-cpaschen "View cpaschen's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/12420-cpaschen) Less More - Posts: 196 - Thank you received: 6 - - - - [](http://www.paschencommunications.com) - 13 years 5 months ago [\#105938](#105938) by [cpaschen](/forum/user/12420-cpaschen "View cpaschen's Profile") Replied by *[cpaschen](/forum/user/12420-cpaschen "View cpaschen's Profile")* on topic *[error processing transaction:270 line item 1 inval](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/82695-error-processing-transaction-270-line-item-1-inval#105938 "I'm using the latest version of HS (2.1.3) on J2.5.11.

I guess I'll have to start debugging code to try to isolate this. Just seems that someone might have run into this before (but can't find anything searching here).

Is there a certain port that the authorize.net hikashop plugin uses? Just wondering if it might be blocked on the new server.

It WAS related to what non-printable ascii codes in the title HOWEVER, Authorize.net (or the HS auth.net payment plugin) somehow interprets " - " (i.e. <space><hyphen><space>) as a non-ascii sequence and that is what was blocking the processing. I'm not sure exactly how this was working before. But after replacing a couple m-dashes with hyphens and then making sure the spaces around all hyphens were removed, it seems to be working properly. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
