Authorize.net Request / Response

Kuntesh Thakker asked on June 22, 2016 08:51

I think I need to add additional log to log all request and response with authorize.net. Our customers are running into some issue while payment process it gives some exceptions and it is super difficult to troubleshoot. Is there is any possibility to save Request & Response for the Authorize.net feature?

Hello Kuntesh,

Based on the support ticket I post the answer in here as well.

You are correct that this will be problem to troubleshoot as the way how the payement gateways work within Kentico is that We are using POST method to post data in following parameters to Authorize .NET provider:

x_test_request x_login x_tran_key x_version x_relay_response x_delim_data x_delim_char x_encap_char x_description x_invoice_num x_exp_date x_card_num x_card_code x_method x_type x_amount x_currency_code

And there is only a response code returned from the gateway back to application.

In this case you could implement custom payment gateway, that is actually the same as the default authorize.Net gateway:

https://docs.kentico.com/display/K82/Creating+a+custom+payment+gateway

Than you can add some EventLogProvider.LogEvent() method to log certain details that could help you find the problem.

Other option is to use traffic monitoring tool (e.g. Fiddler: http://www.telerik.com/fiddler) to track posts and responses to see if there are any issues with data posted.
