Full Version: Authorize.net
I am looking for feedback re the use of authorize.net and consumers placing orders directly on the web and using authorize.net. My perception, without doing a demo--which our merchant bank has not provided but is requiring the use of this service, is that it requires additional log in / password by the consumer when placing a credit card order above and beyond the webstore order entries and therefore might deter the order. Can anyone who has used authorize.net for web to consumer direct ordering (especially in young adult market), give me counsel as to user friendliness and concerns or benefits? If you have used also to receive international orders by credit cards. Last note: you can see I have alot to learn. But our webstore is getting alot of interest internationally and we haven't been able to figure out the best way to take retail orders. Some have credit cards, some don't, some know of Western Union, some dont, Some mention bank wire...any help or recommendations on either authorize.net and receiving international orders. Thank you.

Hello,
Unfortunately, I do not have a login and password for Authorize.net but I do with USAepay. If you want to see the look and feel of a different gateway and see their reporting tools, I can help you with that.

I use YourPay.com which is through Linkpoint. The customer does not need an additional Login to place CC orders. We accept International Credit Cards as well. More and More international Credit Cards give proper Address Verification.
We have also set up a separate Bank Account just for Wire Transfer purposes and that has worked well for us.

We use Authorize.net and I do manually put in orders (thru the online store) for repeat customers who do not want to go thru the 5 page (cough) check out process. There is not an additional log in / password requested.
As far as international orders go, initially we did have our setting to accept, but have changed that setting to disallow international orders - but that's a long story

If you familiar with Paypal, it's the same, you have the alternate script option of passing the item name, description, and price, without leaving your site. Once payment is transmitted, an instant approval is returned, and you can direct the customer to a thankyou page. The other option is to use a shopping cart, and there are 100s of shopping cart that uses Authorize.net It very simple and you can be up within a day, running in test mode if needed.
There is no additional login or password for customers. Pass through, for Simple Integration Method. I use www.unitedbankservice.com and you can check sample of the script integration solution there.
You can accept payment internationally, but I believe only in US dollars only.
