Using Authorize.net AIM (Advanced Integration Method) with Impulse

04/03/2003 - If you are using Authorize.net as your real-time credit card processor with Impulse, you need to be aware of changes that Authorize.net has made to its interface. There are two new methods of integration, AIM and SIM (Advanced and Simple Integration Method, respectively), that have been recently implemented.

Up until this point, Impulse has used the WebLink integration method. However, Authorize.net has said that WebLink will be disabled as of April 3, 2003. If you are using Authorize.net and have not contacted us to change your integration method to AIM, you may not be able to process orders after April 3.

What we need from you to switch to AIM: In your web-based Merchant Interface for Authorize.net, there will be a place in which you can obtain something called a "Transaction Key". This is a key that is unique to your account that allows Authorize.net to know that a transaction is truly coming from you. After you have obtained this Transaction Key, please e-mail it to our realtime credit card processing address. We will then switch your account to the Advanced Integration Method and your ability to process real time credit card transactions through Authorize.net will continue.
