Authorize.net Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Authorize.Net in some of the eCommerce platforms we manage. Since we work with Magento, it's natively integrated with the system, saving us a lot of headaches in the integration process of a payment gateway (which is never easy). Its main purpose is, of course, to be the payment gateway for credit card online transactions.

Likelihood to Recommend

Authorize.Net is a perfect solution when you need to implement it in a small to medium eCommerce. It allows you to process payments on an international scale, and it's perfect when the sale process has no special requirements. Since it can be used for physical POS, you can have a single solution for your shop and your website.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

So I was actually recommended to use this by a client! I was building a website for a local client, and normally use a WooCommerce and Stripe for my payment platform and processing, rather than Authorize.net. However, my client already had a payment processing company that handled their on-site retail sales, and that provider asked me to use Authorize.net to allow everything to run together smoothly, rather than having 2 separate payment companies. While my experience with Stripe is only via e-commerce gateways, I was impressed at how smoothly the implementation happened with Authorize.net - and my client has seemed very happy with everything working on one provider.

For this specific use - a business that has a retail location as well as an online e-commerce store - Authorize.net has been great from what I've seen. My client does most of the work facing Authorize.net and he has been thrilled with it. His payment processing company strongly recommended Authorize.net for when they developed an e-commerce platform.. as a web designer, I don't see a HUGE difference between other providers, but he seems very happy and says that everything works very smoothly between the retail store and the website.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Authorize.Net is one of the versatile solution for eCommerce solution. It is one of the oldest one which helps in both as payment gateway as well as card processing. Its helps us in automated recurring bill system, checkout process, managing customer information etc. It helps us build our virtual point of sale terminal. In our organization we used it for capturing cards and it is very easy to search customer transactions and reports.

Likelihood to Recommend

Authorize.Net is extremely reliable and very easy to setup the system. Mobile application is very good and free of cost. Capturing card and managing customer information is really handy, we can generated different types of reports on it and searching anything is a breeze. Security features are top notch and there is free of cost virtual terminal as well.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

When our donors call in to make a donation, we use Authorize.Net to complete credit card transactions. In addition, donors who receive our annual report can send back a remittance envelope with their credit card information written on it, which we then use Authorize.Net to process. Lastly, we have fees for some of our services and have thought about using Authorize.Net to allow people to pay fees with a card instead of cash.

Likelihood to Recommend

We are a nonprofit organization and use Authorize.Net to complete donation transactions. Sometimes our donors call in to leave a donation via credit card or leave their credit card information written on a remittance envelope sent to them in the mail. The main feature we use is to process credit card transactions.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Help move transactions seamlessly and without delays. Products were needed, and with Authorize.Net, we're able to obtain products that help our IT maintain its deadline on pace. Some of the products were high-end electronics which required special care and attention to their delivery status for our production line. It made sense to pay for its safe delivery.

Likelihood to Recommend

Our organization was looking to revamp one of our departments to increase its production but also elevate our staff quota. Authorize.Net gave us the shopping power to invest in equipment essential to our growth. Furth more, it gave us the opportunity to look at our spending budget keep it medium containable yet possibly room to expand if needed with our limited budget restrictions.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We help with billing, sales, advertising, and setting up contractual obligations with termination details.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for payments, contractual obligation, end date termination, and needs more improvement on layout, which I have already mentioned. While reconciliation is excellent, transaction decline status is not transparent. This needs more realistic reasons to be conveyed to the users. Sometimes debt claims are unreasonable and make the process very troublesome.

Repeat charges need to be stored, and API widgets are excellent.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Authorize.Net helps us in accepting payments from our users in our e-commerce portal. They provide the best solutions in Online payments, Mobile payments, eCheck payments, Virtual point of sale. There different modes of payments facilities are best in the market and make them the first choice. The interface is very easy to integrate and works best. I highly recommend this.

Likelihood to Recommend

It provides easy and secure payment solutions. The payment process is very quick and performs in real-time. The navigation is also good. They should work on the website design part to look better. They should consider the pricing part (make affordable) for start-ups and small business owners. Customer support is their weak part.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have a home inspection business and customers pay by credit card 90% of the time. Once an inspection is scheduled, an email is generated asking the customer to follow a link in order to sign an inspection agreement and make payment by credit or debit card. In my business, not taking a credit card is not an option, merely a matter of choosing which payment processing platform we choose to do business with.

Likelihood to Recommend

Authorize.net is reliable and I feel confident that customers' information is protected. The security protocols used by Authorize.net appear to be as good, and probably better than many credit card payment processors. However, the initial setup process was very difficult. I distinctly recall getting up and running as being very cumbersome and time-consuming. I also was disappointed with how the processing and deposit of payments were not consistent. I distinctly remember regretting the decision to go with Authorize.net. However, as mentioned before, with the time and effort required to get the account set up and running, I refused to go through the process again and try a different provider.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Authorize.Net is used as a gateway to other accounting systems in the company. Prior to that and in some occasions we use it to run credit cards directly though the system without having the physical card in hand. Authorize.Net "tells" us if there is an immediate issue with the credit card number, or if the transaction went through. A detailed report is emailed at the end of the day or next day.

Likelihood to Recommend

We do not have a credit card machine, everything is done inhouse, on the Internet. With Authorize.Net I do not have to be concerned with PCI compliance, as that falls to Authorize.Net. We manually run our credit cards and Authorize.Net allows us to do this quickly. If there's an expired date we are notified, if there the credit card declines, we are notified as soon as we run the card. With declined cards, because they are stored on the Authorized.Net we can contact the customer, update the account and set a future time for the transaction if necessary. I don't see a situation where is would not be appropriate to use.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Authorize.Net as our payment processor for both our in-house bespoke ordering system, and for out online shopping cart in BigCommerce. It replaced another processor, Transaction Express. Authnet provides the features and security that we need while also maintaining a low overhead cost for our company. We haven't been able to beat their fee schedules with any alternatives yet. They've always been very reliable and easy to work with as well.

Likelihood to Recommend

Authnet is extremely good at providing API accessibility for authorizing and capturing transactions. We used their API to connect to our bespoke in house ordering system. This was a critical implementation for us, and was not reliably available from many other providers at that time. They have been consistently reliable and are mostly ahead of the game on implementing important features. On the opposite end of the spectrum, their webhooks for providing automated alerts are very unreliable. We were relying on them to capture information on automated recurring billing events, but they were so unreliable we had to retool the system and completely eliminate the ARB aspect. We resorted to leaning on internal scheduling jobs combined with tradition API calls to make transactions instead.
