Authorize.net Connections

Authorize.Net is a payment gateway service provider that allows merchants to accept credit cards, contactless payments, and eChecks through their website and over an IP connection. For more information, see https://www.authorize.net/.

Tip

This connection is in early preview. It is read-only and available only in SaaS product editions. For more information on early previews, see Early Preview Connection Types.

Limitations and Requirements

Note

During normal selection or import of an entire table, you may encounter an error indicating a problem with a specific column. Since some tables require filtering based on a particular column, data from them can only be ingested using custom SQL statements. In this case, the problematic column can be used as a filter in the WHERE clause of a custom SQL statement to ingest the table.

  • For more information, please consult the CData driver documentation for the specific table.

  • For more information on using custom SQL, see Create Dataset with SQL.

Note

For filtering date columns, this connection type supports a set of literal functions on dates. You can use these to reduce the volume of data extracted from the database using a custom SQL query. For more information, see the pg_dateliteralfunctions.htm page in the driver documentation for this connection type.

  • Supports Transaction key (Login ID / Transaction key) authentication. Information on acquiring the Transaction key and Login ID is provided below.

Custom SQL imports

Note

You can try to import entire tables without custom SQL. If you encounter an error icon, you may be required to import using custom SQL. The error message includes information on what must be added to your SELECT statement.

You can use a custom SQL statement like the following to import data from table mySQLOnlyTable. In this case, the WHERE clause filters on orderId:

SELECT * FROM myDatabase.mySQLOnlyTable WHERE orderId = 'GFR020';

For more information, see Create Dataset with SQL.
