Scheduled - Authorize.Net is enhancing security with our hosted payment form (Server Integration Method (SIM) (https://developer.authorize.net/api/upgrade_guide/#sim) or Direct Post Method (DPM)) (https://developer.authorize.net/api/upgrade_guide/#dpm) with Relay Response and white listing what url(s) can be used with this integration method.

On 08/15/2019 we plan on enhancing the white listing for Relay Response and requiring the Relay Response url(s) to be listed and if not reject the request with Response Code 14 (https://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/responseCodes.html?code=14) and prevent the payment form from loading successfully. This is to enhance security for both merchants and customers. As a part of this change we will be changing the check of the full url to just the domain is matching with any Relay Response url(s) passed in the API call. To help with this Authorize.Net will be adding domains we see used on merchants for the month of June 2019 to their accounts settings to help prevent any issues with this update.

To prevent any impact with the coming change merchants will need to add any Relay Response url(s) or domain(s) their solution/integration uses to the Merchant Interface and Relay/Receipt Urls settings. For steps on this process please see the support article: SIM Relay Response Basics & Whitelisting (https://support.authorize.net/s/article/SIM-Relay-Response-Basics) and How do I add or delete Relay or Response URLs?

Scheduled - The legacy Virtual Point of Sale (VPOS) v1 application (https://anet.vpos.authorize.net/) is being replaced with Virtual Point of Sale (VPOS) v2 (https://vpos2.authorize.net) and VPOS v1 url will be redirected to the VPOS v2 url/system and in the future removed.

Any Authorize.Net merchant can now use the new Virtual Point of Sale (VPOS) v2 (https://vpos2.authorize.net) to processes retail transactions using a supported card reader purchased through our partner POS Portal. Instructions on how to install and use VPOS v2 can be found here (https://support.authorize.net/s/article/VPOS-version-2-FAQ).

To help with the migration from legacy VPOS v1 to VPOS v2 Authorize.Net will be redirecting VPOS v1 traffic to the new VPOS v2 url and system on the following dates and times:

• Temporary redirect: 08/14/2019 from 10:00am PT to 12:00pm PT
• Final redirect: 08/28/2019 @ 10:00am PT – from this point forward only VPOS v2 will be available.

For more information on the replacement and end of life of VPOS v1 please see support article: Legacy Virtual Point of Sale EOL and Upgrade to new Virtual Point of Sale (https://support.authorize.net/s/article/Legacy-Virtual-Point-of-Sale-EOL-and-Upgrade-to-new-Virtual-Point-of-Sale).
