Question

I have deployed my live app with working payment gateway but I still need somewhere to test so created a account with sandbox.authorize.net and got a new api key.

Now when I try these details in development/staging I get –

User authentication failed due to invalid authentication values

When accessing authorize.net

Does active merchant work with sandbox.authorize.net? testing seems to work fine with a gateway set in test mode but not with a sandbox account.

Answer 1

I managed to get this working with the following code:

ActiveMerchant::Billing::Base.mode = :test
ActiveMerchant::Billing::AuthorizeNetCimGateway.new( 
  :login => login, 
  :password => password
)

Orginally my connector looked like this(as the api shows it):

ActiveMerchant::Billing::AuthorizeNetCimGateway.new( 
  :login =>    login, 
  :password => password,
  :test        true
)
