Waytopay.me and Authorize.net Integration

Overview

Authorize.net is a payment gateway service that facilitates online and in-person transactions. Their solution seamlessly connects with Sellercloud’s Waytopay.me application, allowing you to accept payments for customer orders quickly and securely.

This integration allows you to accept payments from the following channels:

• Wholesale
• Local store
• Website
• Magento

Authorize.net supports vaulting, meaning that with each transaction, payment card and personal data are securely stored in their vault. A token is then sent to Sellercloud, allowing for future transactions to be processed without additional card details. This streamlines the checkout experience for your repeat customers, making future purchases faster and more convenient.
