+   about general configuration options.

-Configuration --> Payment Acquirers`, open **Authorize.Net**, and change the **State** to *Enabled*.
-Don't forget to click on *Save* once you've set everything up.
-
-.. note::
-   Please refer to the :doc:`Payment Acquirers documentation <../payment_acquirers>` to read how to
-   configure this payment acquirer.
+To activate Authorize.Net as a payment acquirer in Odoo, go to :menuselection:`Accounting -->
+Configuration --> Payment Acquirers`. Find :guilabel:`Authorize.Net`, click the :guilabel:`Activate`
+button, and change the :guilabel:`State` to :guilabel:`Enabled`.
 
 Credentials
 -----------
 
-Copy your credentials from your Authorize.Net account (API Login Id, API Transaction Key, and API
-Signature Key), paste them in the related fields under the **Credentials** tab, then click on
-**Generate Client Key**.
+Fill in the :guilabel:`API Login Id`, :guilabel:`API Transaction Key`, and :guilabel:`API Signature
+Key` fields with the values displayed or generated on Authorize.Net's :guilabel:`API Credentials &
+Keys` page, and :guilabel:`Save`.
 
 .. note::
-   The **API Client Key** is necessary only if you select *Payment from Odoo* option as
-   :ref:`Payment Flow <payment_acquirers/payment_flow>`.
+   An :guilabel:`API Client Key` is only necessary if the :guilabel:`Payment from Odoo` option is
+   selected as :ref:`Payment Flow <payment_acquirers/payment_flow>`.
 
 .. important::
-   If you are trying Authorize.Net as a test, with a *sandbox account*, change the :guilabel:`State`
-   to :guilabel:`Test Mode`. We recommend doing this on a test Odoo database, rather than on your
-   main database.
+   To test Authorize.Net with a **sandbox account**, first change the :guilabel:`State` field to
+   :guilabel:`Test Mode`. It is recommended to do so on a test Odoo database, rather than on a
+   production database.
 
-   If you set :guilabel:`Test Mode` on Odoo and use an authorize.net account instead of a
-   sandbox.authorize.net account, it results in the following error: *The merchant login ID or
-   password is invalid or the account is inactive*.
+   .. note::
+      If the :guilabel:`Test Mode` is used with the credentials of a non-sandbox account, it will
+      result in the following error: *The merchant login ID or password is invalid or the account is
+      inactive*.
 
-Payment Flow
+Payment flow
 ------------
 
-The **Payment Flow** lets you decide if to redirect the user to the payment acquirer's portal to
-authenticate the payment, or if to stay on the current page and authenticate the payment from Odoo.
-This field is under the **Configuration** tab.
+It is possible either to redirect users to Authorize.Net's portal to authenticate the payment or to
+keep users on the current page and authenticate the payment from Odoo.
 
-If you select *Redirection to the acquirer website*, make sure you add a **Default Receipt URL** and
-a **Default Relay Response URL** to your Authorize.net account.
+To configure the payment flow, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Payment
+Acquirers --> Authorize.Net --> Configuration tab`. Under :guilabel:`Payment Flow`, select
+:guilabel:`Redirection to the acquirer website` or :guilabel:`Payment from Odoo` and
+:guilabel:`Save`.
 
-To do so, log into your Authorize.Net account, go to :menuselection:`Account --> Transaction Format
-Settings --> Transaction Response Settings --> Response/Receipt URLs`, and set the default links:
+Payment from Odoo
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-- | Default Receipt URL:
-  | *https://[yourcompany.odoo.com]*/**payment/authorize/return**
-- | Default Relay Response URL:
-  | *https://[yourcompany.odoo.com]*/**shop/confirmation**
+If :guilabel:`Payment from Odoo` is selected, an :guilabel:`API Client Key` is needed. To generate
+one, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Payment Acquirers --> Authorize.Net -->
+Credentials tab`. Click :guilabel:`Generate Client Key` to automatically fill in the :guilabel:`API
+Client Key` field and :guilabel:`Save`.
+
+Redirection to the acquirer website
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If :guilabel:`Redirection to the acquirer website` is selected, a :guilabel:`Default Receipt URL`
+and :guilabel:`Default Relay Response URL` should be added to the Authorize.Net account.
+
+To do so, log in to Authorize.Net, and go to :menuselection:`Account --> Transaction Format
+Settings: Response/Receipt URLs`. Click :guilabel:`Add URL`, enter the URL following the format
+below, and click :guilabel:`Submit`:
+

+  .. example::
+     `https://example.odoo.com/payment/authorize/return`
+
+- :guilabel:`Default Relay Response URL`: add `/shop/confirmation` after the main website URL.
