Hi All,

eProcessingNetwork supports an Authorize.net emulator (
http://www.eprocessingnetwork.com/an.html )and i was just curious if
anyone has had good/bad experiences with this?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!

I am implementing a gateway for eProcessingNetwork at the moment. I am
not finished yet. It isn't as easy as they claimed.
I had already implemented authorize.net and had that working perfectly
with my application and a test authorize.net account.

If anyone has any pointers, I would welcome the feedback. I started
with a copy of the authorizenetgateway included in activemerchant.
According to eprocessingnetwork, it should be as simple as changing
the url and authentication values. No dice so far. Debugging to see if
I am connecting and receiving responses from the gateway.

I find it is usually easier to implement an entire gateway than to get
an Authorize.net emulator working 100%. We were able to get another
Authorize.net emulator working pretty quickly, but strange problems
kept popping up that couldn't be predicted beforehand. If
eProcessingNetwork has their own gateway you may just want to
implement that instead.

judobrenda ,

I'm working on the same gateway. Right now i've set it up as a
subclass of Authorize.net and i have been able to push a test
transaction through so it looks like their authorize.net emulation is
working ok.

If you want to work on this together and submit our work back to the
active merchant community feel free to contact me directly. I could
send you what i have so far for the gateway and my sample script im
using as a proof of concept.

Can anyone tell me the status on integration with eprocessingnetwork
in Shopify? Has Authorize.net emulation worked as advertised? I'm
admittedly, a Python programmer at heart, but could hack at some Ruby
code to get this working in Shopify.

Shopify doesn't currently doesn't have support for eProcessingNetwork,
since it isn't included in ActiveMerchant yet. As I've mentioned
before, probably in this thread, my experience with Authorize.net
emulators has been poor. The best option is to implement the gateway's
real API. The time you spend developing a new gateway will be more
pleasurable than trying to debug inconsistencies and problems with the
emulation.

I got it to work in trials pretty easily as a subclass of
Authorize.net.

I too ran into issues with it sporatically. I experienced the same
thing that Cody said where I believe the authorize.net emulation was
poor. They are pointing you to authorize.net for all documentation,
but I don't believe they have kept up with API changes, so I imagine
as time goes by and authorize.net continues to evolve that
eProcessingNetwork's implementation is going to continue to diverge
unless they keep on top of it.

I believe it was the merchant set up on eProcessingNetwork's end, but
ended up just going with authorize.net in the end.

Good luck.
