Authorize.net offers several ways to connect websites and POS systems to its payment gateway for transaction processing. This allows merchants to choose the payment methods that are 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 can choose from over 90 Authorize.Net certified shopping carts. These shopping carts are internet-based companies that provide secure payment form solutions for merchant websites, ensuring compliance with Authorize.Net standards. This convenient option simplifies the integration of payment processing, making it easier for merchants to offer a seamless shopping experience without needing extensive development resources.
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 the 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 begins when a merchant submits a credit card transaction via Authorize.Net. The information is securely sent to the Merchant Bank's processor, which forwards it to the Credit Card interchange for processing. It then reaches the Credit Card Issuer, who approves or declines the transaction based on available funds. The transaction status is relayed back to Authorize.Net and then to the merchant. If approved, funds are deposited from the customer's account into the Merchant Bank and subsequently transferred to the merchant's account. This process takes only a few seconds.
