Merchants simply send the information needed to
process their transactions over a secure, encrypted
Internet connection. Authorize.NetTM takes care of the
rest on our sophisticated transaction processing
system. That means businesses get all the advantages
of fast, reliable commerce servers; powerful
databases; and fast, secure, leased-line connections
to financial institutions right from their Web
browser. All without the hassle, complexity, and
expense normally associated with processing and
managing payment on the Internet.
Authorize.NetTM offers tremendous benefits to
traditional businesses, e-businesses, financial
institutions, Internet service providers, Web
developers, and others. This system is perfect for
those companies interested in a secure, reliable
payment authorization solution that doesn't require a

Virtual Terminal
The Authorize.NetTM Virtual Terminal enables
businesses with an Authorize.Net account to authorize,
process, and manage credit card transactions from any
computer with an Internet connection and a Web
browser. Virtual Terminal replaces standard
authorization terminals or software and provides the
best solution for merchants who manually enter credit
card transactions for mail or phone order sales.
Virtual Terminal is the ideal solution for businesses
of all sizes because it removes the complexity and
expense normally associated with authorizing and
processing credit card transactions, and it's much
faster than standard dial-up authorization systems.
Businesses with an Authorize.Net account simply access
the Authorize.Net Virtual Terminal through our Web
site using any industry standard Web browser. After
logging on to the system using a unique user ID and
password, merchants can access the complete range of
Authorize.Net services. This includes authorizations
for purchases, credits and returns, status and
activity reports, and much more.
To authorize credit card transactions, the merchant
simply completes an electronic form that provides the
Authorize.Net system with the information it needs to
complete the transaction. This information is
encrypted using the latest 40 or 128 bit Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) 3.0 technology and sent to an
Authorize.Net host server. The server then sends the
data through the authorization network to the
appropriate card issuer's bank over a secure,
proprietary connection. When the process is complete
-- this takes around five seconds -- the merchant
receives an authorization number, and the
Authorize.Net server stores the transaction.
Transactions are automatically settled each day and
funded within 2-3 days.
Merchants can also check the status of transactions,
automatically bill customers for recurring charges, or
run a variety of reports right from the Authorize.Net
Virtual Terminal.
It's no surprise that Authorize.Net is the world's
leading Internet-based payment authorization and
transaction processing solution. Thousands of
companies are currently using Authorize.Net to
authorize, capture, and manage their credit card
transactions.
