Question

I am using Authorize.net for payment. It has stopped working since 28 March 2002.

Answer

On 28 March 2002 Authorize.net introduced a new security measure. This requires you to specify a referrer URL in the Authorize.net admin system. For CactuShop this referrer URL will be:

http://[yourdomainname]/asp/AUTHORIZENET_mailorder.asp

assuming your CactuShop is installed on the root of your site. This security measure prevents other sites maliciously linking to your Authorize.net payment account.
