Authorize.Net Relay Response with ASP.NET

If you are using Authorize.Net as your payment engine and you are attempting to use Relay Response with ASP.NET, you will be disappointed to know that the code samples that Authorize.Net provides is only for Classic ASP!!  http://developer.authorize.net/downloads/samplecode/

Therefore, you are left to fend for yourself when it comes to developing a solution that is completely built on ASP.NET.

After simply converting the existing Classic ASP example over to ASP.NET, you end up with the following error message:

An error occurred while trying to report this transaction to the merchant. An e-mail has been sent to the merchant informing them of the error. The following is the result of the attempt to charge your credit card.

      This transaction has been approved.
It is advisable for you to contact the merchant to verify that you will receive the product or service.

After digging through numerous Authorize.Net Developer Forums, I FINALLY discovered the answer to resolving this error message:

In the Page directive for the ASP.NET Relay Response page, you have to add the following attribute: EnableViewStateMac="false"

If this attribute is NOT present, you will inevitably receive the error message indicated above.
 
In addition, if you are using ASP.NET 4.0/4.5, I have found that a very basic Web.config file works for my ASP.NET Web Forms project, but other ASP.NET 4.5 Web.config files (such as those that are part of One ASP.NET) DO NOT WORK!!
 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
 
    <system.web>
      <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5" />
      <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" />
    </system.web>
 
</configuration>


If you would like the code for the entire Relay Response page for ASP.NET Web Forms, I have provided it for you below:

    Thanks a lot for this post.
    From last four hours I am searching for above issue and how to capture Transaction Id on redirected page.

    But i have one more issue. As in code samples that Authorize.Net provides they have mentioned form id="simForm" runat="server" method='post' action='https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll' , but because of this I can not move to back page for some corrections in amount or something else. So what type of code I have to write over here?
    Please help me!
    Thanks in Advance

    If you are interested in completely controlling the checkout process, you should not be using Relay Response or the SIM Form methodology. Instead, you will want to use the Advanced Integration Method (AIM).

    Our applications are used for only billing purpose like online electricity bill, patient hospital bills etc.. Currently we are using AIM (for one time payment) and ARB (for recurring) from last many months but now we want to avoid costly PCI compliance on our server. So we are planning to shift on SIM for one time payment and trying to achieve recurring billing using CIM.

      You won't get the flexibility that you desire if you go to SIM though. If you want some additional verifications before you go to the SIM page, I would recommend creating an ASP.NET or jQuery Wizard that allows you to go through a series of screens to confirm that everything is OK before submitting to Authorize.Net. In addition, you can configure the Payment Form to make a number of fields editable (Amount is not one of them).

    Hi, Samir Vaidya Sir,
    I need one more help please.
    I am using above code and it is working fine to display our customized response page. But now issue is even after response the url in address bar is not showing our website's url and it is not coming back to our website. We want to save transaction ID in our database.
    How to achieve this? after surfing on net I read somewhere that we have to use receipt page instead of relay response so I used x_receipt_link_URL as our website url & x_receipt_link_method=POST and written same above code to take Transaction ID but still gateway url is not redirecting to our original website.
    Did you worked on such type of scenario?

      Yes, please check out this blog post article: http://samirvaidya.blogspot.com/2014/05/authorizenet-error-message-referrer.html

      You have to use the Relay_Response_Url field in your original form that is posting to Authorize.Net in order for the redirect to work.

    Relay Response setting and all above your provided code is working correctly but my issue is something different. Can we read our previous page session on relayresponse page? e.g. In your application you have stored Session["SomeInfo"] on login page "ww.example.com\Login.aspx". Then rendered on SIM page which is on https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll. After submitting CC details and successful/failed transaction it will come on relayresponse page, so on this relayresponse page code
    if (TransID == "0" && ResponseCode == "1") Can you get Session["SomeInfo"] which was stored at login page? right now it is always showing NULL session. Please check at you site whether it is possible to get Session values on RelayResponsepage? . So how to achieve it?

    No, you cannot pass Session information to Authorize.Net. Everything works through Form Posts. Therefore, you can store the Session information into a hidden field that is used by Authorize.Net. You may be able to simply store it in a hidden field and test whether or not Authorize.Net will post it back to your Relay Response screen. Otherwise, you can review the list of hidden fields supported by Authorize.Net to see if you can use one of these instead: http://developer.authorize.net/guides/SIM/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=Appendix%20A.html
