Frequently Asked Questions
Does this plugin require an Authorize.net merchant account?
Yes. You need an active Authorize.net merchant account to process payments. The plugin connects to your existing Authorize.net gateway using your API login ID and transaction key.
What is Accept.js and why use it?
Accept.js is Authorize.net’s client-side tokenization solution. It generates a payment token on the customer’s browser, so credit card data never reaches your server. This reduces your PCI compliance scope significantly.
Can customers save their payment methods?
Yes. Registered customers can save their credit card information as a stored payment method for faster checkout on future purchases.
Does the plugin support recurring payments?
Yes. When used with WooCommerce Subscriptions, the plugin supports recurring billing through Authorize.net for subscription products and memberships.
