Authorize.net helps businesses accept online and in-person payments, protect against fraud, and boost growth and efficiency. Here are six ways to tell if Authorize.net can help your business.
Your business is unique and has specific needs—so it’s important that you pick a payment gateway that can help you achieve your short and long-term goals.
For almost 30 years, Authorize.net has been the go-to payments solution for many merchants with simple payment needs. It’s reliable, scalable, and secure; helps merchants accept a variety of payment methods; and makes it easy to integrate a range of products and services that boost growth and efficiency.
Now we've reimagined Authorize.net to make it even easier to use. To see whether Authorize.net can work for you, let’s explore how it can help you accept payments and grow your business.
1. You want a solution you can customize to your unique needs
Authorize.net offers multiple ways to accept payments as well as connectors and integrations to help you tailor your payments solution to your unique needs. We offer:
- Connectors to popular shopping carts and eCommerce platforms like WooCommerce, Magento, and Shopify
- Easy-to-add integrations such as subscriptions, digital invoicing, and in-store payments
- A customizable, task-oriented dashboard to help you get more done quickly
2. You want to offer customers a variety of ways to pay
Authorize.net lets you take payments quickly and securely—online, over the phone, and in person. You can better meet customers' payment preferences by accepting cards, eChecks, and digital wallets. As well as fast AI-assisted checkouts, Authorize.net offers options like:
- Pay by Link
- QR codes
- Digital Invoicing
- Mobile point of sale (mPOS)
3. You want to prevent fraud and protect your revenue
As you grow your business, you may face growing risk. Authorize.net helps mitigate risk using Visa's secure, reliable network to process payments, and offers:
- Fraud prevention with our Advanced Fraud Detection Suite to block fraudulent transactions and minimize costly chargebacks and inventory loss while maximizing good order acceptance
- Tokenization of sensitive customer payment information to reduce the scope of your PCI DSS compliance
4. You want an easy way to manage subscriptions, installments, and recurring payments
Authorize.net is a comprehensive payments solution. While some platforms may charge for additional features, we want to make it easy for you to manage your revenue with a fully integrated suite of applications.
If your business offers subscriptions or other recurring payments, we can help you give customers a smooth experience and keep revenues flowing:
- Automated Recurring Billing lets you accept recurring or installment payments from customers' credit cards and bank accounts
- Account Updater automatically updates stored card details when cards get renewed or reissued—helping you avoid payment interruptions, frustrated customers, and lost sales
5. You want to streamline operations with a single solution that can grow with your business
Some payment gateways lack services like invoicing, recurring billing, and fraud management. In those cases, when your business takes off, you may be forced to replace your entire solution, or to integrate disparate systems with multiple fees. In contrast, starting July 2025, Authorize.net will include the following services without additional fees or contracts:
- Customer Information Manager to streamline checkout for returning customers by letting them save billing, payment, and shipping information for future purchases
- Digital Invoicing allows you to send invoices to customers via email to speed up payments
- Automated Recurring Billing for recurring payments from credit cards and bank accounts
- Advanced Fraud Detection Suite to identify, manage, and prevent potentially fraudulent transactions
Authorize.net comes with a centralized marketplace so you can simply access products and services with one-click activation. What's more, you benefit from a connected experience across products and services. For example, payment and customer profiles can be automatically populated with Customer Information Manager.
