Authorize.net Reviews & Product Details - Page 18

Authorize.net has a simple checkout system. You can also store additional information with transactions. They also have a fraud detection system. They have recently revamped their official pricing structure and their website. Also, now you can send JSON in requests(Beta) which would be a way better solution than XML requests.

The XML API. I don't like it. I integrated Authorize.net in an open-source ERP system, Tryton, to take payments from customers using Credit Cards. I had to use a Python API called "py-authorize"(https://github.com/vcatalano/py-authorize) from GitHub, unlike Stripe, which gave me it's own Python API to take payments from any system written in Python.

Authorize.net has a very good API available making it easy to run a charge, and later go in and convert it to a recurring subscription. If a customer's card is declined, you can try charging it again whenever you want until it goes through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You have to pay a monthly fee. You need a new account (and double the fees) if you want to process more than one currency. You have to pay for a gateway, and you need a merchant processor. There are multiple parties to go through in order to solve problems if any show up. The problem isn't generally with Authorize.net and they provide fairly good customer service, however your mileage may completely vary as every payment gateway and merchant processor is not consistent and has different policies, requirements, and they may decide to cancel you at any time. Our payment processor decided to drop us after 2 years (and they didn't even bother telling us!! I was wondering why our recurring payments stopped going through) with no chargebacks and the only other company that would take us on wanted a $2500 deposit for each of our accounts. So it would cost us $5000 to get back up and running again. Anyway, we looked into Stripe, there were no monthly fees, we signed up in 2 minutes instead of 2 weeks.

Ease to use, features, comprehensive documentation, support, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some complexity for the clients to use, learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using Authorize.net I was able to go from an absolute noob to a full fledged application very quickly. I was able to refactor my code using the php sdk and very quickly extended our application to include some more challenging aspects of eCommerce (refunds, user management etc).

With our application we handle both online (web) orders as well as a phone/IVR system that posts order information to an API endpoint. The simplicity of our application increased as my experience with Authorize.net increased along with my understanding of the way things work in general. Coupled with the fact that our sales "offer" constantly has changed to include free trials, multiple payments (ie. 3 easy payments etc.) and the likes. We were able to use Authorize.net all the way through with some very custom logic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would certainly say that though the online chat is very quick and customer service is a bit more knowledgeable via the phone - if you have a very low level application specific question the response time from the developers did not meet my expectancy. In one case I needed an answer regarding a missing function in their sdk and instead resorted to cloning their GitHub repo and creating my own branch including that function. I understand their resources are finite but the response took nearly a month and did not really touch upon the issues I was most concerned with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to setup recurring payments or enter information to handle one-off transactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using Authorize.net for several years and have not encountered anything negative to report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Basic functions for reporting. Simple reports can be processed by a non experienced user. The ease of editing (refunds, etc) processed transactions. Search function is multifaceted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The default settings are overwhelming, although easily customized by an experienced end user, they can be cumbersome to someone who needs simple information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a web developer I very much liked Authorize.net's API and how easy it was to integrate with. There's lots of ready to use packages that you can just pull in to your own code and you're good to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. Perhaps if I was looking for a payment solution for a smaller project, the monthly fee could convince me to use something else but it's actually quite small, so that problem quickly dissipates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Authorize.Net for their reputable service. They are one of (if not the best) the more trustworthy payment gateway options out there. I have used Authorize.Net for my personal websites as well as client sites and they never disappoint. Their interface is very easy to navigate -- from contacting customer service, to accessing their documentation, to reporting issues - it's all there.

I particularly love their API. It's very easy to use and very abstract, so you can focus on writing your code instead of worrying about security issues that may come up - as is common in the development of almost all eCommerce websites today. Considering that almost everything is turning digital in this day and age, Authorize.Net is an invaluable resource for getting the safest and the best functional eCommerce website live.

I do not have any particular dislikes about Authorize.Net. I can imagine that some people can dislike the technical documentation of the use of their API, but after that learning curve, it is well worth it - as you have tremendous customer service support for when you have questions, or if issues come up.

I have worked with Authorize.net support and sales for years and really like their staff who are very helpfull and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The recent boost in prices makes this solution not my first option for overall recommendations unless the company or owner I am referring to them is in need of certain back end/front end certified platforms for their credit card processing and features that Authorize.net can support for their API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Authorize.net has been my go to solution for e-commerce for over 10 years. I have worked with many payment processing integrations over my 18 year career but Authorize.net was always my recommendation when I had a choice or was asked for my opinion. The client side and server side options as well as support in the e-commerce community for Authorize.net made it the best choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is little I would say I dislike about Authorize.net. I still have clients using it with complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
