Just keep in mind Silent Post works for all APIs, not just ARB. If you mean the URL you define in the Authorize.Net control panel, then yes, that’s how you would do it.

NET so the url should be http://domain.com/arb/processARB.php? Is this correct? My only question is: when defining the Silent Post URL in my merchant account it should have the script name that will be parsing the response whether it’s PHP,ASP,JSP or.

Is this correct?

The SIM sample code will show you how that is done. You can calculate the MD5 yourself and make sure it matches what is presented to you in Silent Post.

My question : Is there a way I can authenticate Authorize.net on my silent POST page. Is there a way I can know that the being made to my page is really coming from authorize.net and that its not a hack or a bogus call? All help is very much appreciated and Thanks for the help in advance! Hi John,

ARB knows the card is expired and simply aborts the transaction since the card is obviously no good anymore. However, a credit card may be in the ARB system with an incorrect expiration date, in which case those cards will be processed and will come back as declined. So in your case you will want to make a note of a user's expiration date so you can notify them it is time to update their credit card before it actually does expire and then automatically suspend their account when it is past the expiration date. That will handle the vast majority of your expired card issues. Silent post will only catch the odd ones that have incorrect expiration dates.
