How Do I Add Metadata to Simple Checkout?

[PostAlmostAnything]

I have never used Authorize.net before and just got my sandbox account. I am migrating from Stripe. I would like to use simple checkout just like I used Stripe checkout, but I don't know where to find examples of how to dynamically generate products with metadata for use with Simple Checkout.

When using Stripe I could include metadata with requests so that they would have unique titles, descriptions, and other things that my webhooks needed. I have looked at the Simple Checkout page on the Authorize.net site but don't see how to do that. All I see is how to create buttons for static products.

Check out SIM server integration method Unfortunately they are talking about not supporting in the future

Thanks, so are you saying they don't support what I am looking for now or they do and won't in the future?

The first thing that comes up for SIM server on Google is a document calling it depreciated https://www.authorize.net/content/dam/anet-redesign/documents/SIM_guide.pdf

I am thinking of using Accept Hosted, but the instructions seem confusing. I created the .php file described in step 1, but step 2 describes loading something in an iframe, but the sample iframe code does not have a src attribute. How is it possible to load anything in an iframe without a src attribute?

The sample code for the Accept Suite references a file named constants/SampleCodeConstants.php but does not contain any links to it. Where can I find that file?

[PostAlmostAnything]

Alright, I found that but it just led to more questions. I coped the code from https://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/index.html#accept-suite-get-an-accept-payment-page but instead of getting me a payment page all it got me was a giant string of characters. Then I looked at it again and all it does is get you a token which can be used to request the Authorize.net Accept hosted payment page", but how do I request the Accept hosted payment page? The tutorial stops at the token and never bothers to explain how to use it.

I have the basic redirect to the Authorize.net hosted payment form working fine based on the example at https://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/features/accept_hosted.html#Integrating_the_Form_using_a_Redirect but I need to include more information about the order than what appears available. Information such as a product ID, description, inventory number, etc. so that when I register for a webhook it can send back information as to exactly what item was purchased. Right now I only see options for including basic stuff like merchant name.

How do I add meta data?

Is it possible to retrieve the transaction ID after the token is created and before the user is sent to the Authorize.net site?

[jmd8045]

add a input element inside the form with type hidden and set the value to your product id etc. James M Doherty *President* REVIVE CONSULTING LLC EMAIL: ***@***.*** PHONE: 512-650-2997 *Author*: *Bought With A Price <http://bookstore.westbowpress.com/Products/SKU-000731960/Bought-with-a-Price.aspx> * *"Things My Dad Taught Me"* *Patents (40):* Patents By Inventor: James M Doherty (40) <https://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=pts&hl=en&q=ininventor:%22James+M.+Doherty%22#q=ininventor:%22James+M.+Doherty%22&hl=en&tbm=pts&start=0%22>
