E00009 Error

[roofer roofer]

Hi,

I'm using Authorize.net in test mode. I have wordpress 3.3.1 and s2member pro 111220.

I created two test members perfectly. When I went to create a third test member I got an E00009 error. The error says that the gateway account is in Test Mode and the transaction cannot be processed. I'm a little concerned as I was able to do two test members and now there is an error. Is this an error I should worry about?

This is from the logs:

This happens when you're using Authorize.net sandbox / testing mode while your API is testing to make sure that it's NOT in testing mode. Make sure that your Authorize.net settings are set up with Developer Testing / Sandbox Mode enabled, or take your Authorize.net account out of sandbox mode.

You can look up the reason codes here for future reference http://www.authorize.net/support/ARB_guide.pdf

Hi Bruce,

Thank you for the response.

I switched it over to testing on the authorize.net options and tried again and got a E00007 error, an error about things not authenticating correctly.

I'm assuming that this is just a problem in testing mode and shouldn't affect things when I go live? I'll set things up for a small live purchase and see if things sort out.

thanks again,

It seems like this is just a problem with one of your authorize.net settings. If you go live, and everything is set up correctly, you should have no problems.

Follow up:

I switched over to live mode at authorize and things worked perfectly. I didn't touch any settings in s2member - no errors, billing successful, and all emails sent.

long live s2member,

I'm happy it worked out for you
