authorize.net AIM description field

I would like the description field in the authorize.net transaction populated with the product description or product item number. How can I do this?

Thanks for your help.

The product code is already sent to authorize.net for each product. If you want to add the product description to the product name, you need to do that by changing the line
$vars["x_line_item"][]=substr($product->order_product_code,0,30).'<|>'.substr(strip_tags($product->order_product_name),0,30).'<|><|>'.$product->order_product_quantity.'<|>'.round($product->order_product_price,(int)$currency->currency_locale).'<|>'.$has_tax;
in the file plugins/hikashoppayment/authorize.php

Thanks!

We're not getting product code or any product info about the order in our auth.net receipt (I have not made any changes to the authorize.php file). We just get this:

That means that authorize.net doesn't use the detailed information sent by HikaShop. Not much we or you can do in HikaShop unfortunately...

ok.
I found this info from authorize.net site about the x_line_item array:
Based on their respective business requirements, merchants can choose to submit itemized order information with a transaction. Itemized order information is not submitted to the processor and is not currently returned with the transaction response. This information is displayed on the Transaction Detail page and in QuickBooks download file reports in the Merchant Interface.

So I decided to add code to get the x_description field to show order info to the authorize.php file:
Added this line: $vars["x_description"]=""; before the loop
Then added this line after $vars["x_line_item"]...:
$vars["x_description"]=$vars["x_description"].'Product Code: '.$product->order_product_code.', Product Name: '.$product->order_product_name.', Quantity: '.$product->order_product_quantity.', Price: '.round($product->order_product_price,(int)$currency->currency_locale).'\r\n';

This code adds product order info to the authorize.net receipt by filling the x_description field. However, the Product Code is not coming through, but rather, the product code is the same as the product name. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Full code snippet below:

Your code is good. I don't see why you wouldn't get the product code in the x_description variable.

Ok. I checked and yes it is working. Thanks.

I checked this code,it really works great...

Same problem for me, details not supplied on Merchant Email Receipt. Authorize.net says:

If you need the Description details listed in the Merchant Email Receipt, your web developer will need to adjust your website/shopping cart so that Itemized Order Information is no longer being used.

I am trying to implement code from mrdan, he says:

Added this line: $vars["x_description"]=""; before the loop

Where is the loop? Where is this placed?

And...

Then added this line after $vars["x_line_item"]...:

There are 4 of "$vars["x_line_item"]" Which one do I do this after?

Hi,

I update the mrdan's post in order to put the "full code" between "code" tags.
With the new version of the plugin (which has changed during these 2 years). It will be

Current code:
