Can FM2008 be used to integrate a form with Authorize.net? In other words, create a form where people can enter their name, address, and dollar amount (like a donation to a non-profit), then it pops them over to authorize.net to finish entry of credit card info. It would need to transmit the API login id and transaction key (securely). Is there a place that shows how to set it up if it has this capability?

Many thanks for your excellent product!

I don't think Authorize.Net has a simple API which could be used with Form Master but I will double check and let you know.

It looks like Authorize.net has a "Simple Checkout" feature that allows me to create an html form and pass a single hidden field, LinkId. How to I get FM2008 to pop me out of the host Web site and drop into the Authorize.net screen while it's passing the hidden field? This is the actual html that they give you (minus the actual LinkId code):

<form> name="PrePage" method = "post" action = "https://Simplecheckout.authorize.net/payment/CatalogPayment.aspx"> </form>

This works fine in a regular html page, but doesn't work in DNN (obviously). I can create the hidden field, "LinkId", but I can't get it to pop out of the host site while doing the post. If I do the silent post that's fine, but it keeps me on the existing site when I click the Submit button/link.

Thank you!

Ha, your editor actually converted it to "real" html and embedded a button... Well the missing section of code above (where the "Donate" button is) should be preceded by:

Urgh, it's taking out the html. *sigh*

Should be preceded by:

(less than symbol)input type = "hidden" name = "LinkId" value ="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" /(greater than symbol)

What you are trying to do is not possible. You cannot have two <|FORM... tags in an ASP.NET application. The main DNN page already contains this tag. the only way in DNN to use the Authorize.net code is to put it in an IFrame module.

I will look into changing the ACTION attribute for the FORM tag in DNN and let you know if it is possible in DNN.

No, I understand I can't use the <form>> tag. What I'm trying to explain is that, that's the code authorize.net gives us. All I need is to pop out to the authorize.net page with a single hidden field using post. They just give you the form code with a button to do it with. This is what FM2008 does really well, like setting up form submissions for Constant Contact signups. But in this case, there's no "form" to fill out, we just need to get a way to post to their page. Maybe it's the wrong "hammer" in this case? Thanks for looking into it. You guys have a great product at a very good price.
