Hi There!

Authorizenet just emailed an announcement that they are doing away with 
Weblink and that all of their account holders need to convert to either 
AIM (Advanced Integration Method formerly known as ADC Direct Response) 
or SIM (Simple Integration Method).  From reading though Authorizenet's 
docs on Weblink, AIM and SIM  I'm going to guess Interchange uses AIM, 
since AIM requires Direct Response for the Transaction Response as well 
as an https secure form on the eCommerce website.  AIM and Weblink use 
Relay Response and do not require a secure form, just a form that POSTs 
to Authorizenet's secure verification server.  I have the Interchange 
(v4.6, foundation type catalog) eCommerce site encrypted with a secure 
certificate and have my client's Authorizenet account using Direct 
Response and everything is working like a charm.

But before I disable Weblink and mess up my clients credit card 
transaction capabilities, I was wondering if anyone on this list could 
confirm Interchange DOES not require or use Weblink.

Here's a link to Authorizenet's docs on the subject(s) in case more 
info is needed:
