Configuring RealCart for Secure Sites AuthNet SIM

• Start RealCart.
• Open the Checkout Wizard by clicking the Cash Register button on RealCart’s large toolbar.

• Click OK.
• Select Options at the bottom of RealCart’s Tools menu on RealCart’s main menu.
• Select the UserFields tab.
• Scroll to where you can see the entry called: AuthnetTXkey. This may appear alphabetically on your list of entries or it may appear towards the bottom. Scroll all the way both ways to find it if necessary. (If you do not see an entry called AuthnetTXkey anywhere in the list then you need to upgrade to the latest version of RealCart.)
• Make sure the AuthnetTXkey is entered correctly.
  
  
  
  
• If the AuthnetTXkey is missing or incorrect Double-click the word AuthnetTXkey to change the value to your actual Transaction Key from Authorize.Net (something like: Y6XymuFuHxpQSmqT) making sure you leave the cursor on the same line as the transaction key. DO NOT LET THE CURSOR fall to the next line. It must remain at the end of the top line in the box.

Secure Sites AuthNet SIM FAQ

• Who is Secure Sites? Secure Sites is part of NTT/Verio, one of the nation’s largest ISPs.
• Is Secure Sites really secure? Yes. SecureSites.com is encypted with SSL encryption. It is just as secure (if not more so) then the secure server your web hosting ISP may have.
• Will I have to change my hosting company to Secure Sites? No. The only pages that will actually be hosted on secure sites are the ones we named above: rscsimlib.php, rscsimdata.php, sspay-sim.php and sspay-sim-test.php. All of the rest of your pages can remain with your existing web host.
• What do I enter for the Secure Server URL on the server tab of the checkout wizard? You may not need to enter anything in the Secure Server URL field. Unless your shopping cart itself is located on an address that begins with https:// then this value should be left blank. This is NOT where you enter the Authorize.Net URL. The Authorize.Net URL stays in the Form URL field.

AuthNet SIM Recommended practices

• From time to time you should generate a new Transaction Key, enter it in the User Fields section of RealCart and republish your store sending us the files named above. This is explained on the previous page.
• You may want to change your transaction key and republish your site after sending us the files. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT IF YOUR ISP DOESN’T SUPPORT PHP ON THEIR SERVERS.
