Shopping cart problems

Hi.
I am not even sure where to start.

I am close (I thought) to making my site go live. I am using authorize.net.

I was using authorize.net's testing server and was getting receipts from them and proper emails from hikashop.

I am still not live (placed the site on "maintenance" status) and am doing final testing. I did take my credit card off of "test mode" and am practicing live transactions with the intention of deleting them on the authorize.net site before they settle.

Now . . . .

The cart asks for the security code, but I can put in any numbers and it works

The customer is not receiving any emails -- either creation, confirmation or receipt nor is the Administrator receiving receipts from Authorize.net, just "confirmation" emails from Hikashop

I was getting everything before in test mode.

where do I start troubleshooting this? I am at a loss. there aren't too many options on the Authorize.net plugin page in Hikashop to change. I have tried as much as I can think of.

thanks.

The security code check is a setting on your authorize.net account.

Same for the receipts from authorize.net, if you don't get them, it's because of something on authorize.net side, not in HikaShop. You might wanna ask their support...

Thanks so much.
Makes sense. I was a bit frustrated and did not think to try that. I will look into it.

Thanks for your awesome support and your patience.
