Summary
To send information from your Gravity Forms form to Authorize.Net, you will first need to create a feed. A feed simply allows form submission data to be sent to another source. In this instance, payment data being sent to Authorize.Net. This article describes the steps to create a basic feed to Authorize.Net.
Note: To use the Authorize.Net Add-On, you will need a Credit Card field within your form. When using Page fields to create a multi-page form, the Credit Card field should be located on the last page of the form.
Create a Feed
To create a feed to Authorize.Net using the Authorize.Net Add-On for Gravity Forms, do the following from your WordPress Admin Dashboard:
- Click on Forms in the left side menu.
- Select the form that you want to use with Authorize.Net.
- Once within your desired form, hover over Settings and click on Authorize.Net.
- Click Add New to create a new feed. You will be presented with the Authorize.Net feed settings screen. See the table below for a quick summary of all settings presented. Choosing some options will reveal additional settings.
- Click Save at the bottom of the section as required.
You can create multiple Authorize.Net feeds for your form, however you must configure conditional logic (see Other Settings section) on each of them to make their trigger conditions unique. The add-on will only process one feed during submission. If conditional logic is not configured, it will use the first feed it finds.
