How do I integrate Authorize.Net with my website?

Before integrating your website with Authorize.Net, please note this process needs coding and development skills. If you don’t have the required skills or too busy to do it on your own, please consult each step with your web developer.

In basic, there are five methods provided by Authorize.Net for customers to integrate the system with their website.

Simple Checkout

This option is suitable for merchants that posses very minimal technical (HTML) skill. In this method, merchants only need to setup “Buy Now” and “Donate” buttons that direct their customer to Authorize.Net hosted payment form. The buttons can be modified based on the product type and shipping costs. When the button’s ready, merchants can simply copy and paste the button’s HTML code on their website.

Server Integration Method (SIM)

Server Integration Methods (SIM) is a customizable and secure hosted payment form provided by Authorize.Net specifically for merchants who do not have an SSL certificate. This method uses scripting techniques to authenticate transactions with a unique transaction fingerprint. Authorize.net Server Integration Method (SIM) is bundled with osCommerce Online Merchant and is also available as a separate add-on package existing store owners can use to upgrade to.

Direct Post Method (DPM)

This is a faster and full control checkout process offered by Authorized.Net. This option gives customers complete control over the pages for better customer’s checkout experience. With this method, customers can choose to create own checkout form and host it on their own server.

Advanced Integration Method (AIM)

If you are looking for the most secure and flexible integration that supports all types of transactions (mobile, website, business apps), Advanced Integration Method (AIM) might be the best choice. This method allows merchants to host their own secure payment form on a website, mobile device, etc., and send transactions to the payment gateway using an end-to-end secure sockets layer (SSL) connection.nnAuthorize.Net Certified Solutions
