Which integration method to use and how to integrate to Authorize.Net virtual terminal

[mariechild]

I have been reading different articles in the knowledgebase and on the board. I still don't have a general understanding on where to begin to setup a Sim integration from my company's website to the gateway, then to Authorize.Net.

My company wants a way for our employees to fill out the credit card payment billing, hit the submit button and it integrates into Authoirze.Net's portal as an 'authorize only' transaction. Our auditor will go into the terminal and settle the credit card payments.

In addition, We don't want to keep sensitive data on our server.

I read over the sim integration guide, the sample code etc. but for some reason I still don't know where to start on my website. I use Wordpress, so iam thinking I will need to creat a PhP, give it a name, add the sample code, modify the sample code to fit our company needs.....I guess?

I have been tasked with this project, but don't know where to begin or start and making sure it is done correctly.
Thanks in advance!

Hello @mariechild 

Only standard fields included in the API will appear in the Merchant Interface.  If you are passing custom fields, the data will be reflected in the response only and are not stored as part of the transaction.

Oh, I see. Is Company ID a standard field?
