Authorize and then Capture programmatically using Authorize.Net in Magento

Question

Can anyone help me in getting the Authorization and the Capture steps (code) using Authorize.Net? It seems that everyone knows how to use both at the same time, however, there is no explanation as how we can do that into spearate steps, the Authorize first and the Capture after that (using a trasactionID).

Answer 1

CAPTURE transactions require the Authorization code that's returned from your AUTH transaction. The x_auth_code key needs to be set to the value of the Authorization Code from the AUTH request. In the delimited response of the AUTH transaction, it's field #5.

Refer to page 13 of the AIM guide. Also look at page 58 in Appendix B for the minimum required fields for each transaction type.

Good luck.
