This article will guide merchants through searching for and managing transactions in the new Merchant Interface.

Data Retention Note

Authorize.net recommends periodically downloading your transaction history for your records. We retain the current year and the last two years' worth of transaction data and archive older data yearly (normally between March-April).

Accessing Manage Transactions

  1. Sign in to the Merchant Interface.
  2. Be on or switched into the New Merchant Interface (2.0)
  3. Click Payments in the left navigation.
  4. Click Manage Transactions.

Manage Transactions

The Manage Transactions module enables you to complete these actions:
  • Search for transactions
  • View transaction details
  • Perform additional actions (follow-ons) for transactions
  • Void/cancel an unsettled transaction

Using Quick Search and Filters

Quick Search

Quick Search enables you to search for transactions in an intuitive way. When you use quick search without a filter, it returns results that match these categories:
  • Transaction ID
  • Customer First Name
  • Customer Last Name
  • Email
  • Amount
  • Last four digits of the Credit Card Number
  • Invoice Number
As you enter information, the quick search option provides likely matches based on what you type. For example, typing letters causes quick search to suggest names and email addresses, and typing numbers causes quick search to suggest amounts and card numbers. Click on the quick search suggestion to view transactions that meet the search criteria. Some quick search suggestions become filters. To clear Quick Search, click the clear button.

Filters

To remove a filter, tap the close button. Click Clear all to remove all filters from the search.

Search Tips

  • Search by Credit Card Number: Credit card numbers are fully stored for 180 days post-settlement, after which the full number is deleted from our system in compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). To locate transactions older than 180 days, use the last four digits of the charged card number. Searches using the full card number will only find results that settled within the past 180 days.
  • Searching by Date Range: The drop-down boxes displaying settlement dates represent a listing of all settled transaction batches. Selecting these dates will return transactions that were settled on that date in a particular settlement batch. It's possible to have multiple settlement batches on a particular day. Be mindful of the dates and times selected to ensure you are querying the results you need. To view only transactions in a particular settlement batch, select that batch date/time as both the From and To value. You can also cross settlement days by selecting a From date/time that is earlier than the To date/time. To view certain transactions across all settlement batches, select ALL Settled as both the To and From value. To view transactions that have not been settled, select Unsettled as both the From and To value.
  • Combining Fields: The search page provides many search options to find the transactions you need. Be careful when using multiple variables to generate transaction searches. All searches are treated as “AND” criteria. When entering multiple variables, the system will combine these search terms to generate the unique list of transactions that match all your specified criteria. For instance, searching for Payment Method = Visa and Customer Last Name = Smith will only return the transactions where Smith and Visa were used.

    Search and Manage Transactions FAQs

    • How can I search for a specific batch number?
      • There is no option or ability to search by a specific batch number.
    • How can I identify the location of a transaction, to validate and check a customer's location?
      • This will depend on the customer information entered and provided in the transaction. The Billing and Shipping information in the transaction details can be used, along with depending on the software and solution and what data is passed to Authorize.net's APIs the IP address of the transactions which can be used to look up and validate the location of the customer and order. You can use the IP Shipping Address Mismatch Filter as part of the Advance Fraud Detection Suite (AFDS). This tool compares the shipping address provided with an order to the IP address of where the order originated from. This helps to determine whether or not the order is shipping to the country from which it originated. Additionally, you can use the Regional IP Address Filter (a part of AFDS) to flag orders coming from specific regions or countries. You can customize the filter actions based on an entire geographic area, or select country by country how to process transactions flagged by the filter.
