Hi Hikari,

I noticed that other people also have asked for this feature in the past, probably for the same reason we need it, which is that the company accountant needs to see the information on the Authorize.net statement, otherwise she just has an amount and not a number with which to track the purchase. I'm told that tax auditors tend not to like this.

Has the capability to send the order id and description been added to the Authorize.net plug-in or must the user still modify plugins/hikashoppayment/authorize.php himself? We have Authorize.net statements generated via previous shopping carts (also using the AIM method) that contain this information, so I can't justify to the accountant why we cannot have this with HikaShop.

Thanks!

Hi,

Authorize plugin in AIM mode call the payment platform before the order creation. So the order does not have an order id yet.
It is possible to make a request in the database in order to predict what the order id should be, I guess that could be an interesting function in the Payment plugin interface.

For the description, what do you want to send ?

Hi Jerome,

In the past what we have seen show up on the Merchant Email Receipt is this:
where:
Invoice is actually the order number.
Description: Product Name corresponds to the name of the purchased item.

Thanks.

You can edit the file plugins/hikashoppayment/authorize/authorize_end.php and add the code below at the beginning:

I will give this a try on a test machine.

Thanks.

I placed the code at the beginning as shown below, but no order number appeared in the statement. Did you really mean to place the code at the beginning where I put it or should I have placed the code later in the file? If this is wrong, maybe you could specify the code block before which I should have placed the new code.

Thanks,

Hi,

The place in the file is the good one.
And the code looks good too.

Regards,

Well, it's good that I put the code in the correct place, but I still do not see an order number in the Authorize.net merchant receipt. Is there something else that needs to be done to make the order number show up?

Thanks.

This is what I get:

Hi,

I don't see any other variables for the invoice number of the description.
