The Authorize.Net Direct Post payment method implementation in Magento is currently carried out using MD5 based hash. However, Authorize.net is soon ceasing the support for MD5 based hash usage. As a result, Magento merchants will not be able to process payments through Authorize.Net Direct Post. To cope with this, Merchants need to implement the patch provided by Magento while replacing the existing MD5 hash with SHA-512, a Signature Key in Magento Admin configuration settings.
The versions that would be affected by this include:
To continue using Authorize.Net Direct Post payment method, you need to take these three general steps:
1. APPLY THE PATCH
You may require a Magento developer’s assistance to apply the patch. Download and install packages for the Magento edition and version on which your eCommerce store is running. The download patches are also available for the ones who installed with Composer.
How to download and install the patch
2. GET A NEW SIGNATURE KEY
You will need a new Signature Key and get it added to your Magento Admin configuration.
3. UPDATE YOUR MAGENTO ADMIN CONFIGURATION
If the Signature Key updates and processing of payment continues to work smoothly, the process is successful. If you come across with any issues, verify the Signature Key through Authorize.Net.
