Hi Eric. It sounds like you're a bit off on what you're looking for vs. what you're trying to implement.
From the description of the process you want it sounds like you're looking for Simple Checkout or Server Integration Method while the code below is for Advanced Integration Method. You can review the different approaches here: http://developer.authorize.net/api/compare/ Simple Checkout and SIM let you collect the payment on the Authorize.net site and then get a success/decline response back. Their docs should help. Basically, what you do is link or post some basic information to Auth.net, they do the charge and then redirect back to your results/thankyou with the result in the query string, you then take that and update your records. Using AIM, the billing information is posted from your form to your server and on the server side, you take that info and pass it to Auth.net (using CFHTTP) and then parse the response and update your records before redirecting to/displaying your receipt/thankyou page. If you want to use AIM, the best way to do it is using: http://cfpayment.riaforge.org/ It very nicely wraps and abstracts all the payment processing trickiness into a standardized API. The same interface works with a number of other processors so switching between them simply involves specifying which gateway to use and providing the necessary credentials. (I wrote the Authorize.net gateway used in cfpayment.) I haven't implemented Simple Checkout or SIM but would be willing to take a look at what you've got once you read the docs and have some code started. (Here's the 15 minute setup for SIM: http://developer.authorize.net/integration/fifteenminutes/#hosted in PHP, but should be apparent how to translate it to CFML.)
