Connect WooCommerce checkout to Authorize.net

Secure Gateway for Authorize.net and WooCommerce by Pledged Plugins Enterprise links a WooCommerce store to an Authorize.net merchant account for credit card payments. Configure gateway options in WooCommerce, then manage supported order actions from WordPress. An active Authorize.net account, WooCommerce 3.3 or later, and a valid SSL certificate are required.

Card payments and order controls

For card payments, Accept.js sends payment data directly to Authorize.net, which helps reduce PCI scope. The add-on does not store customer credit card numbers or sensitive information on the site.

• Process full or partial refunds from the WordPress dashboard without searching for the order in the Authorize.net account.
• Authorize a transaction first and capture it later.
• Restrict selected card types. The gateway can hide the related card icon and show an appropriate checkout error.
• Optionally send receipts from the Authorize.net merchant account.
• Enable logging to help investigate gateway issues.

Recurring payments, pre-orders, saved cards, and ACH

With the WooCommerce Subscriptions extension, the gateway works with products with recurring payments. It also works with the WooCommerce Pre-Orders extension. When a pre-order becomes available, the customer's card details can be charged automatically.

When saved cards are enabled, customers can reuse card details held on the gateway servers. Sensitive card data is not stored on the website. Enterprise also supports eCheck payments through the ACH network.

FunnelKit One Click Upsells

The gateway is compatible with FunnelKit, formerly WooFunnels, One Click Upsells for stores that use post-purchase or checkout upsell steps.

Setup and testing

Install the extension with its one-click installation process and complete the gateway fields in WooCommerce. Choose the payment options that fit the store, such as card restrictions, receipts, delayed capture, saved cards, or ACH. Use an Authorize.net sandbox account to test the setup. A valid SSL certificate is required for customer card details and PCI DSS compliance.
