Overall Satisfaction with Authorize.Net
Pros
- Authorizes payment ahead of time (less cards declined).
- Saves CC info for future orders, by client.
- Accepts CC from other countries (not just USA).
Cons
- Authorizations time out/expire and need to be reauthorized.
- Declines with error codes but without explanation.
- Difficult to process refunds.
- Payment processing for catering.
- Easy to send links for payment.
- Guests feel the payment links are secure.
- Guests don't have to give CC numbers over the phone.
- Ability to send payment links over email.
- For guest-facing ordering, guest can order and process their payments completely by themselves - no need for staffing on our end.
- Less sensitive information (credit card info) passing through the company.
- PayPal Payments, Toast Point of Sale, LevelUp and now part of Grubhub Enterprise
We did not select authorize.net, it came with the software package with our catering system Spoonfed. I would prefer either Toast or LevelUp as a payment processor over authorize.net—those two are easier to use from a manager perspective and process refunds. My experience with Paypal was about the same as Authorize.Net.
