Authorize.Net is a payment gateway, it authorizes, captures, and settles card and eCheck transactions for a business's website or point of sale, and has been doing it since before most of today's payment platforms existed. It's reliable at that one job. It has no opinion about what happens after a transaction settles into your bank account. We build the automation that picks up from there: matching settled transactions to the right order or invoice, routing refunds and disputes to the right person, and getting clean numbers into your books without someone exporting a CSV every week.
Failed charges mean decoding error codes by hand, then matching what settled to the right order or invoice.
Got a Authorize.net problem? Let's solve it →The gap between authorize, capture, and settle is where a lot of manual work hides. We build the logic that decides when an order is actually ready to capture, not just approved, so a charge doesn't sit authorized for days while someone manually confirms the order shipped.
Settled batches need to land somewhere. We match each settled transaction to its order, invoice, or customer record in whatever system runs your business, so your books update themselves instead of someone cross-referencing a settlement report against an order list by hand.
Refunds and chargebacks are the part that actually needs a human, eventually. We build the routing: a refund request creates a task for the right person, a dispute notification pulls the matching order and shipping proof together automatically instead of someone digging through old emails to build a case.
If you're running Authorize.Net through WooCommerce, another storefront, or a custom checkout, we also connect the transaction data on the gateway side to whatever's tracking inventory and fulfillment, so a sale actually decrements stock and triggers shipping without a second manual step.
Each settled batch gets matched line by line to the order or invoice it belongs to, and the result lands in your accounting system already reconciled, instead of someone comparing two reports side by side at month-end.
A chargeback notification comes in and automatically pulls together the order details, shipping confirmation, and customer communication it needs, so whoever's responding isn't starting from a blank inbox search.

The problemEach settled batch is matched to orders by hand, and a short deposit sometimes goes unnoticed for weeks.
Settled batches are matched line by line to orders and arrive in accounting reconciled. A mismatch shows up the day it happens.
What we build on top of specific parts of Authorize.Net.
Tell us what you're matching, exporting, or double-checking after a transaction settles. If there's a gap between what Authorize.Net gives you and what your books need, that's usually buildable. And if the real bottleneck is somewhere else in your business entirely, that's fine too, this is just one example of the manual work we fix.
Let's talk →Authorize.Net is a payment gateway that authorizes, captures, and settles credit card and eCheck transactions for a business's website, app, or point of sale. It's owned by Visa and has been a standard choice for card processing integrations for a long time, with a mature API and wide support across e-commerce platforms.
Authorize.Net charges a monthly gateway fee plus a per-transaction fee, separate from whatever rate your merchant account or payment processor charges for the processing itself. Exact numbers change and vary by plan, so check Authorize.Net's own pricing page rather than relying on a figure that might be out of date.
Yes. It's PCI-DSS compliant, supports tokenization so raw card numbers don't need to touch your own servers, and includes built-in fraud detection filters you can configure. Safety in practice still depends on how your integration handles the data it does touch, which is worth checking regardless of the gateway.
Yes, there's an official Authorize.Net plugin for WooCommerce that handles checkout, authorization, and capture. It covers the checkout flow itself; what happens to that transaction data afterward, like matching it to inventory or your books, is usually where custom automation picks up.
Log into the Authorize.Net Merchant Interface, go to Account, then Security Settings, then API Credentials & Keys. You can generate a new transaction key or API login ID there, which is what any integration (ours included) uses to talk to your account instead of a username and password.
They solve different problems. Stripe is a full payment processor with its own merchant account built in, while Authorize.Net is a gateway that typically pairs with a separate merchant account, which can mean better rates at higher volume but more moving pieces to set up. Picking between them isn't something we weigh in on, our job starts once you've already got one running.
Not natively in a deep way. A few connector apps sync basic transaction data, but matching payments to invoices correctly, with fees and refunds accounted for, usually needs custom integration work, which is what we build.
