Authorize.Net Functionality:

Authorize.Net captures the necessary cardholder information (name, credit card number, expiration date, billing address etc.) from your own secure transaction page (AIM Integration), or displays a customizable transaction page hosted on an Authorize.Net secure server (SIM Integration) for your customer to fill out. Your customer's information is encrypted using 128-bit Secure Socket Layer technology and sent to an Authorize.Net transaction server. The server sends the data through the authorization network to the appropriate card issuer's bank, using a secure, proprietary connection. When the authorization process is complete -- this takes around three to five seconds -- the customer receives an approval or decline response and the Authorize.Net server stores the transaction. Transactions are automatically settled each day and are funded within two to three business days directly into your checking account. You can check the status of your transactions or run reports on past activity by going to the Authorize.Net Web site and logging on to your own password-protected Authorize.Net merchant interface.

Authorize.Net Integration:

Authorize.Net offers toll free tech support at 877.447.3938 and supports more available shopping cart software than any other payment gateway, so it integrates easily with most eCommerce solutions.

For Authorize.Net integration assistance, we are now offering e-onlinescripts. These scripts are very easy to install and configure. Configuration is as simple as plugging-in your order form fields and Authorize.Net information into a configuration file. A pre-configured order form is provided with each script to give you a good example to work from. Your Web site designer or developer can also manage the integration process.

Authorize.Net Virtual Terminal:

The Virtual Terminal is basically an online credit card terminal for key entering transactions. The Virtual Terminal allows you to authorize, process, credit, void and manage credit card transactions from any computer that has an Internet connection and a Web browser. The Virtual Terminal replaces standard authorization terminals or software, and provides the best solution for manually entering your credit card transactions for mail or phone order sales.

Access the Virtual Terminal by logging into your Authorize.Net account using the unique Login ID and password provided to you by e-onlinedata.

Authorize.Net Fraud Detection & Prevention:

There are Settings within your merchant interface that allows you to control the AVS and CVV systems:

• AVS - Enter your customer's billing address through the Virtual Terminal or from your Web site, and the system will compare it to the address the card issuer has on file. Therefore, if someone is trying to use a stolen card to buy and ship items to a false address, this illegal activity will be detected and stopped before it occurs.
• CVV - This is the Visa/MasterCard system involving a 3-digit number printed on the back of the credit card near the signature. It is used during authorization when the credit card is not present during the transaction.
