IMPORTANT NOTE 1: In Member365 gateway setup when selecting Credit Card types we only control what images will appear at the checkout (Visa/MC/AMEX logos) – we DO NOT control what Credit Cards are eligible for use. That is done within the gateway itself.
IMPORTANT NOTE 2: For the Payment Form – Fields, please do not adjust them from the default settings.
WARNING! Please ensure no fields are checked off as ‘Required‘. If you make any of the fields required on this page no transaction can be processed within Member365.
IMPORTANT NOTE 3: On the ‘Enhanced Address Verification Service (AVS) Handling Filter‘ page in Authorize.net you can either Allow transactions to process without matching mailing address and ZIP/Postal Codes or you can Decline transactions from processing that do not match mailing address and ZIP/Postal Code.
If you are allowing your members, to make a payment on behalf of other contacts or members you will want to have the Allow option checked off (enabled) otherwise the transactions will be declined.
