Setting up Form Fields with Authorize.Net

1. In your Authorize.Net dashboard, go to the Account page.
2. Under the Transaction Format Settings, click the Payment Form link.

3. Click the Form Fields option.

4. Under the Required column, uncheck the fields that cause you the form error. Here’s a short GIF of this step.

5. Finally, click the Submit button to save the changes.
