Authorize.net vs. EBizCharge

Authorize.net is reliable and I feel confident that customers' information is protected. The security protocols used by Authorize.net appear to be as good, and probably better than many credit card payment processors. However, the initial setup process was very difficult. I distinctly recall getting up and running as being very cumbersome and time-consuming. I also was disappointed with how the processing and deposit of payments were not consistent. I distinctly remember regretting the decision to go with Authorize.net. However, as mentioned before, with the time and effort required to get the account set up and running, I refused to go through the process again and try a different provider.

I feel like I have answered this in my previous responses, but it is well suited for the Accounts Receivable side of our company which helps streamline the payments our customers send us. I would recommend it for all AR situations to help a company, but it does have some bugs to be worked on. It has overall helped our company.

• Very smooth workflow to authorizing, capturing, voiding, and refunding charges. This can all be done via API calls, or through their online dashboard.
• Their AVS settings for validating credit cards are substantial and have been reliable in ensuring that our customers cards are being used safely and properly.
• Their uptime and response times are very good in general. The only issues we ever have communicating with their services is when our connection quality is compromised.

• Process the credit card payments
• pay on time
• bank deposit

• The lack of data portability is a big issue for me.
• Authorize.net uses the same $49.00 gateway setup fee to scam merchants out of money, which is no better than any of the other gateways out there.
• Their customer service is not up to the mark. You can get stuck if you need any help from their end.

• We have had issues with the automatic import of payments from EBizCharge
• into Acumatica. When we manually import them, they successfully apply to the correct order/invoice, but when we had it on automatic, we would get duplicated payment entries which created more unnecessary work for us having to delete them after.
• We were told that previously used credit cards on a customer account would not show up if another user wanted to pay for a separate order/invoice, but they do show up. We have a couple of accounts that many, many users pay through and it would be way too hard to create a new account for each user since there are so many that use it. We just wanted the ability to not have the previously used credit cards shown on a new payment, but they are which is super inconvenient for security purposes.
• We previously had issues with payments not being imported to the correct account but that has gotten better. Not resolved completely, but better. It just creates more work for us having to go into the payment and change it to the correct account and then validate it.

Authorize.net has been a useful system for our Chamber. We appreciate the ease of use and access to our Main Frame. Connecting Authorize.net to our system for membership, event and other payment ease has been excellent and we have experienced no problems whatsoever.

I have no experience directly with the support offered by Authorize.Net.

Authorize.net is a reliable and affordable payment processing service that offers more robust security than other services, such as Stripe or PayPal with their monthly fees at $25 dollars month lot of people may be turned off by these high prices but you get what you pay for - protection against fraud in risky transactions so I would recommend using Authorize.net if this matters to your business!

PayFabric was what we switched from and the customer service and features were not as good as what EBizCharge was able to offer us. And EbizCharge was cheaper overall than PayFabric which helped our company budget as a whole

• Lets us charge cards so we can get paid on time, every time.
• It was very difficult to setup the DocuSign integration the first time, but after we got it setup, it's made the onboarding process very easy. That probably saves about 30 minutes every time we get a new client.
