 A payment gateway service which allows merchants to accept credit card and electronic checks payments through their web site. With over 200k merchants, they are the leading internet leading payment gateway service provider.
Rout has worked with a number of clients to integrate ecommerce payments, including Authorize.net.
Authorize.net sells its services to merchants both straight and in some way through re-sellers, and a merchant wishing to utilize Authorize.net `s payment gateway services can get in touch with either authorize .net or a reseller. Authorize.net resellers are usually merchant account providers, as the two services go hand-in-hand, if using a reseller pricing for services of their payment gateway will fluctuate.
There are two ways Authorize.net processes payments through a merchant’s website. The first method is known as the simple integration method (SIM). As the name implies, this method is the less difficult of the two. A merchant would send the customer to the authorize.net website where a secure order page will capture their transaction information using the simple integration method. The customer returns to the merchant’s website upon completion of the transaction. This is the preferred method most of our small businesses clients choose.
The second method is called the advanced integration method (AIM). It is more difficult and time consuming, but creates a seemless transaction for the customer. The advanced integration method utilizes the Authorize.net API to process a transaction without the customer leaving the merchant’s website. The customer is ignorant of how the transaction is processed and the checkout process is seamless to them. This method is usually preferred by larger businesses that wish to present their website in a proficient manner.
