How to set up your Authorize.net account to work with Farmigo

Set up the Customer Information Management (CIM)

If you want to allow your members to set up automatic payments for select payment plans, you will need to set up the Customer Information Manager (CIM) for your Authorize.net account. This feature is necessary for businesses offering installment plans, debit on delivery plans, or businesses that would like members to be able to automatically refill their account balances.
  1. Log in to your Authorize.net account. 
  2. Click on the Tools tab at the top.  Then click "Customer Information Manager" on the left.
  3. At the bottom, click the link for "Sign up for Customer Information Manager (CIM) Now".
  4. On the next screen, Agree to the Terms of Service by checking the box and clicking the button for "I Agree".  Now you are ready to manage automatic payments in your Farmigo system.

Review Fraud Detection Suite

Select Advanced Fraud Detection Suite from the menu on the left-hand side of the screen.

Set everything in the fraud detection suite to not configured or disabled, except for Enhanced CCV filter. 

*Important - if you receive an email from Authorize.net about a suspicious transaction you must go into Authorize.net to approve the transaction. The transaction status in Farmigo may not verify if the payment is left in pending, so the status must be reviewed in Farmigo after a pending payment is processed in Authorize.net. Contact Support with questions.

To add credit card as a Payment Method, go to each tab and select "Edit". Drag credit card over to "Selected" then push save. Repeat for each section.

Confirm Credit Card Type Settings

When creating a relationship with a Merchant Services Provide (MSP) to process credit card payments, the standard credit card types accepted in Visa and Mastercard. In order to accept American Express and/or Discover, you will need to work with your MSP to apply to accept these credit card types separately.

If you do not accept American Express and/or Discover, call Authorize.net at 877-447-3938 and ask them to make sure that the setting to accept these credit card types is turned off for your account.  Then, if a member attempts to pay with one of those types, they will receive a message saying "The merchant does not accept this type of credit card."

If you are unsure of which types of credit card you can accept, we recommend contacting your Merchant Services Processor (MSP).  If you would like to accept American Express and/or Discover, we recommend that you contact your MSP (learn more).
