Authorize.Net

An Authorize.Net Payment Gateway account enables you to accept credit card payments from your site.  This checkout process allows the customer to stay on your site rather than redirecting to another payment processor for final checkout, such as our other payment processing solution, Google Checkout.

Once a customer is ready to checkout, your site will load securely via our system's SSL certificate and they will be taken through the customer information and credit card entry process.  If the customer's order is processed successfully, the customer will see a order summary screen serving as a confirmation and our system will send a receipt to the customer and store order notifications to the store contact set within the admin area.

It is important to note that we are NOT partnered with Authorize.net and we are not receiving any financial gain from offering this integration option.  Current clients have requested this payment processor due to its advanced processing abilities.

Create a Authorize.Net Account

To get started with establishing your Authorize.Net payment gateway, follow the link below to find out more information.  You will want to become a 'Web Merchant' that will host your own payment form and connect to your account via an 'Authorize Login ID' and 'Transaction Key', which is detailed below. You will also be discussing Payment Processors with the Auth.net representative. Authorize.net provides the 'payment gateway' and you also need a 'payment processor'.  Your Authorize.net representative can give you more information on this.


Authorize.net has their pricing for their services at the following link

Connect your website to Authorize.Net

Within Authorize.net you will need to copy your 'Login ID' and 'Transaction Key'.  Watch the following video on how to obtain this information. Click on the 'API Login ID and Transaction Key' video.
  1. Access your Authorize.net account and generate and copy your 'API Login ID' and 'Transaction Key'
  2. Submit a support ticket to us so that we can enable the Authorize.net account for your site. You will not be able to enter the values into your admin area until we activate this for you.
  3. Once we activate auth.net processing for your account, Access your website's admin area and click on the 'Store' tab.
  4. Click on the 'Store Settings' link.
  5. You will see the area to enter your Authorize.net values. Paste in exactly the values you copied from your Authorize.net merchant account.
  6. By default, your Authorize.net account will be in 'test' mode.  Within your website's admin area, leave this setting to 'Test'. If you are wanting to test your store and auth.net account live (even if your site is not live yet), simply adjust the 'Processing Mode' in  your website's admin area to 'Live'.  Be sure to also turn your actual Authorize.net account to live as well.
Note: If you have Google Checkout and Authorize.Net values entered within the Store Settings area your site will show both checkout buttons and your website visitors can choose which payment process to follow.
