Authorize.net Performance Issues 12/6

Important note for customers who use Authorize.net as the payment gateway.

Between 11:49am and 12:26pm today 12/6, Authorize.net had severe slowness and errors with their API calls which resulted in errors and time outs for customers who tried to process credit cards with Authorize.net.  As of 12:26pm Pacific time Authorize.net had resolved these issues.  We urge merchants who use Authorize.net to check your transactions in the Authorize.net portal from between 11:49am and 12:26pm pacific time on 12/6 for any duplicate orders or orders with payments that StoreSecured did not receive notice of.  Please note that during this time many attempts to charge customer credit cards were met with a timeout message or an error from Authorize.net and thus StoreSecured does not know the final status of those charges.
