With Authorize.net several ways become available for connecting websites and POS systems to payment gateways to process transactions. This allows merchants to choose the payment methods that is best suited to their business. Merchants are provided with required hardware and software solutions to connect with the payment gateway. These Hardware and software solutions are certified by third parties. They are, therefore, compliant with Authorize.Net’s security and quality standards.
Web Merchants
Web Merchants are recommended to use Advanced Integration Method (AIM). AIM utilizes industry standard encryption technology. This ensures that all transactions are carried out securely. Additionally, AIM also gives merchants a good degree of control over the transaction process.
For web merchants looking to customize the interface and experience of payment gateway, Simple Integration Method (SIM) is the ideal choice. It offers customizable features, along with safe and secure payment processing services.
Web Merchants with limited web development resources may opt for Authorize.Net certified shopping carts. Shopping carts are internet companies. They offer payment form solutions for merchant Web sites. Over 90 certified shopping carts solutions are available to choose from. This convenient option is secure and complies with Authorize.Net standards.
Mail Order/Telephone Order Merchants
MOTO merchants can log into the Authorize.Net Merchant Interface. From there, they can enter information through our virtual terminal or use the batch upload option to submit transactions for processing.
Both Virtual Terminal and Batch Upload are features included in the Authorize.Net Payment Gateway. Multiple users feature is also available on the payment gateway account. Multiple users can access the payment gateway account from one network or call center.
Both AIM and SIM connection methods are supported.
Retail Merchants
POS solutions or devices purchased by retail and mobile merchants are pre-integrated with the Authorize.net Payment Gateway.
Retail and mobile merchants may purchase certified POS solutions or devices that are already integrated with Authorize.Net Payment Gateway. The installation is managed by POS solution provider, who may be the hardware manufacturer, software provider, or reseller. POS Solutions Directory is available for easy access. Merchants looking to directly integrate with the payment gateway may use the Card Present connection method.
There are many benefits of using certified POS solutions or devices, including faster checkout, cost savings with IP-based transaction processing and easy integration with proprietary applications.
Merchant Interface is a secure website where merchants manage transactions, adjust their account settings, and review reports. It is accessible from any computer. All that is required to access the Merchant interface is an internet connection and a web browser. No software is required.
Merchant Interface
Using the Merchant Interface, merchants can:
The payment process starts when the merchant forwards a credit card transaction through Authorize.Net. Transaction information is safely forwarded to Merchant Bank’s Processor. From there it gets sent to the Credit Card interchange. Here it is processed and routed to the Credit Card Issuer who either approves or declines the request based on availability of funds. This transaction status is delivered back to Authorize.net through the processor, where it is stored. Merchant is, then, notified of the transaction result. This whole process lasts a few seconds. If the transaction was approved, money is deposited from the customer’s account to the Merchant Bank, from where it is transferred to merchant’s account.
