Overall Satisfaction with Authorize.net
We implement Authorize.net as a payment gateway in a variety of situations, but primarily for ecommerce sites. I work with it primarily in an implementation, customization, and troubleshooting capacity. Authorize.net provides a secure and lower-risk method of collecting payment information online. Using Authorize.net can reduce PCI compliancy concerns for websites and businesses, and provide a cost-effective means of secure payment processing.
Pros
- Security
- Customer Service
- Variety of Implementation methods, SDKs and APIs
- Testing Methodology
Cons
- User Interface
- Documentation
- Plug and play solutions
- Higher efficiency of payment implementations
- Higher security of payment collection options
- PayPal Payments, Stripe and Braintree
Authorize.net is often on the more complex end to implement (at least for custom implementations). Stripe and Braintree are somewhat more developer-friendly and also have more intuitive user interfaces (for management and day-to-day use).
Some other services also have better price points - be sure to shop around.
But, it has a longer history than some services and high support among third-party software, plugins and other solutions.
