    General Information on Integration with Other Providers

    The iATS Payments Authorize.Net Emulator allows iATS Payments clients to use the Authorize.Net payment module that has been integrated within many third party shopping carts and software providers.

    In most provider instances, there is an API Log In field and a Transaction Key field to enter the iATS Online Client Code and Password, and a text field for the Post To URL.

    The following steps and examples can be utilized for general integration:

    1. Locate the Authorize.Net Aim Payment Module and change the ‘POST TO’ URL:  

    FROM: https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll  

    TO: https://www.iatspayments.com/netgate/AEGateway.aspx 
    2. Enter your 6-Digit iATS Client Online Sub-Code in the API Login ID field. 
    3. Enter the Password in the Transaction Key field. 
    4. Change the ‘POST TO’ URL within the Authorize.Net payment module to https://www.iatspayments.com/netgate/AEGateway.aspx (the iATS Payments gateway). 


    It is important to note that some providers do not utilize a text field for the URL, and instead list the Authorize.Net Gateway in a pick list drop down menu instead.

    In these instances the iATS Payments Emulator will not work, unless the company chooses to add iATS to the pick list.
