“Reliable service since 2002”

We have been using authorize.net on our website since 2002. I have always had a wonderful experience with the people that I work with there. Additionally for our customers, they provide comfort that their information will be safe... with one of THE most secure platforms around.

“Continued to charge after I cancelled account”

Rick B.
2/7/24

On 12-2-22 I called and cancelled service. It was documented in there system. Unaware to me, they say they sent me an email form of closure that also needed to be completed and returned. Never told me that to had to be done, to officially close. I never completed that form. Where I come from a call to cancel means cancel my service. Do they do this on purpose to continue milking hard working people? Making more hoops to do a simple closure. WTF. With that said they continued taking money out of my bank account that was on recorded for 14 months over 2k for a service I cancelled. They will give no reimbursement. I consider them thieves. They steal. Don't use them..

Authorize.net made it easy for Pampered Whiskers to accept payments on our BigCommerce website. Every time I have reached out to their customer service team, they have been very helpful. Each time I have called, I am able to get a live person within less than a minute. They are very efficient and empathetic. I would highly recommend authorize.net.

I am a business owner, I started with PayPal, Stripe, Square, ProPay, etc.
Authorize.Net is probably the only credit card processor around with full customer support, 24-7. You speak with real people. You don't speak to a computer or you don't need to send thousand of emails in order to get an answer, you speak with real people/ real customer support 24-7. You don't find this support anywhere else.

I previously entered a 1 star review for this company, but wanted to come back and change this after they resolved my situation. To avoid too many details, there was a payment processing error and was calling to obtain a refund. Apparently, I called "Evo Payments" who handles some of their payment processing. They are who the "1 star" review should be given. They are the WORST company I have ever done business with. If they continue to do business this way, they will not be in business very long. The last representative I spoke with at Evo actually new what he was doing and forwarded me to Authorize.net customer service. These guys were excellent, and were able to handle my query in a matter of seconds. They also provided me with their contact info so I can contact them directly instead of going through the "Evo Payment" customer service line. Thanks again Authorize for making this so helpful! You guys may want to do business with a company other than Evo they are absolutely terrible, and probably a reason for so many negative reviews.
