I am configuring authorize.net. I am only sellling one item, a book. Just to keep it simple for the customer, I would prefer to link from my website directly to this item vs comming in through the splash page etc. Is there any problem with this?
Related to this, when entering the "path to your script", in your instructions items 7, 8, and 9, do I put the path to the splash page, or directly to my item?
Also, re: item 14, where do I find out what these choices really mean. I don't have a clue what I "feel comfortable with." I feel comfortable being paid most of the time, and even better all the time.
Also, Item 2, what is an "appropriate payment method." I selected "secure server," but I don't have a clue what either option means.
Thanks Larry

You would put the http path to your cp-app.cgi script there. It should end with .cgi without anything following that. For example:
http://www.yoursite.com/ccp5/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi
To ensure you retain the most orders, I would suggest turning off most if not all of the AVS and CVV2 rejection settings.
The Authorize.net - Secure Server method uses your own secure server to collect the credit card number and contacts Authorize.net behind the scenes (your customer never sees an Authnet page).
The Authorize.net - Payment Form method uses the Authnet secure server to collect the credit card number. Your custom will be presented with one generic Authnet generated page for that entry.
Use the payment form method unless you have a secure server configured.
