Authorize.Net provides businesses with an ecommerce payment gateway that enables them to authorize, process, and manage credit card and electronic check transactions in a real-time, online environment. Internet commerce is a rapidly growing and diverse sector of the payment processing industry. Using Authorize.net., transactions can be conducted from any computer with an Internet connection and a web browser. Authorize.net also offers a virtual terminal for offline card processing.
Standard Features
Authorize.Net supports an unlimited number of transactions and account users, regardless of your merchants’ distribution models—e-commerce, retail, mail order/telephone order (MOTO) or mobile.
Security and Reliability
Authorize.Net is uncompromising when it comes to safeguarding customer information. We maintain compliance with the payments industry’s highest security initiatives. Our geodistant redundant data centers provide uninterruptible power systems, physical security, and surveillance 24×7. Your merchants are protected by the strongest encryption methods and security protocols available.
Fraud Prevention
Merchants lost an estimated $3.6 billion in revenue to online fraud in 2007, an increase of 16% over the previous year.* We offer a range of features to help your merchants protect their businesses. In fact, other payment gateways charge additional fees for features that we include for free with each payment gateway account. In addition, our Fraud Management Department is dedicated to helping merchants identify and mitigate their risk of fraud.
Online Reporting and Account Management
The Merchant Interface is a secure Web site that allows merchants to submit and manage transactions, configure account settings, view account statements, generate reports, manage unique user accounts, and more.
Authorize.Net Verified Merchant Seal™
By displaying the Authorize.Net Verified Merchant Seal on their Web sites, your merchants create a sense of confidence for consumers who may be concerned about the security of online purchases, potentially increasing sales.
Value-Adding Products
In addition to its standard features, the Authorize.Net Payment Gateway provides several powerful value-adding products designed specifically to help merchants enhance their transaction processing capabilities. Additional fees may apply.
eCheck.Net®
Merchants can accept and process payments from consumer and corporate bank accounts directly from their Web site or through the Authorize.Net Virtual Terminal.
Fraud Detection Suite™ (FDS)
FDS is a customizable set of rules-based filters and tools that allow Web merchants to identify, manage, and prevent suspicious and potentially costly fraudulent transactions.
Automated Recurring Billing™ (ARB)
ARB is a convenient and powerful tool for managing subscription and installment payments. Merchants can take advantage of ARB’s flexible features to enhance customer service and build customer loyalty, while reducing authorization declines and overall administrative costs.
Customer Information Manager (CIM)
Merchants can now store sensitive payment data on our secure servers via the CIM API, potentially simplifying their compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. CIM also simplifies payments for returning customers and recurring transactions.
