Payment API

AIM (default) stores card data encrypted within Blesta.

CIM stores card data with the payment gateway only. (Must be enabled in Authorize.net)

Select AIM for local storage, and CIM for token storage. If you are using CIM, please ensure that it's enabled for your Authorize.net account.
Payment Account Validation ModeThis controls what type of validation is performed when a payment account is stored using CIM. 'None' performs no additional validation. 'Test' issues a test transaction that does not appear on the customer's statement but will generate an email to the merchant. 'Live' processes a $0.00 or $0.01 transaction that is immediately voided. Consult your Merchant Account Provider before setting this value to 'Live' as you may be subject to fees.
