It is our pleasure to announce our first article aimed directly at web developers. Integrate the Authorize.net Payment Gateway with PHP walks developers through the process of identifying the steps of an online credit card process both from a programmatic point of view as well as a technical point of view (from web page to processor and back again). It then explains how credit card related data should be validated before being used for payment.

The heart of the article lies in the PHP code that is developed along the way. A class is created that handles everything from sending the data to the Authorize.net API to receiving and handling the response. The client side code can be as little a just a few lines of code to successfully process a transaction. Because the code is designed to be modular it can be easily reused in any web application without having to rewrite any portion of it.

So check out Integrate the Authorize.net Payment Gateway with PHP and let us know what you think.

Within the next 7 - 14 days a new article will be published on Merchant Account Services. This article will be geared toward ecommerce developers who wish to utilize the Authorize.net payment gateway into their websites (or their clients’ websites) using PHP. We chose PHP since that is by far the most popular language out there for the web and yet still has so few quality resources available for it.

The article will explain the flow of an ecommerce transaction and educate developers on how to handle them. Credit card validation will be included as well as code for integrating Authorize.net into the website. The code will be reusable as well so it can be duplicated easily on future sites.

Keep an eye out and when it is published be sure to tell your web developer friends where to find it.
