WebLink
Authorize.Net™
WebLink allows Internet-based businesses to authorize, process, and
manage credit card transactions without worrying about all the complicated
software, hardware, and expertise normally associated with processing
payments over the Web.
When
online customers are ready to purchase products or services from a merchant's
Web site, WebLink either captures the necessary information (name, credit
card number, etc.) from the site's own secure transaction page or displays
a standard WebLink transaction page, hosted on an Authorize.Net server,
for the customer to fill out.
This
information is encrypted using 40 or 128 bitSecure Socket Layer technology
and sent to an Authorize.Net transaction 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 authorization process
is complete -- this takes around five seconds -- the customer receives
an approval or decline response, and the Authorize.Net server stores
the transaction. Transactions are automatically settled each day and
funded within 2-3 days.
Linking
a merchant's Web site to the Authorize.Net system is simple. The merchant's
Web site designer or developer simply inserts a few lines of HTML code
that we provide to establish the link. Authorize.Net supports most available
shopping cart software, so it integrates easily with most e-commerce
solutions.
Below
is an example of the basic code needed to link to WebLink:
<form
action = "https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll">
<input type = "hidden" name = "x_login" value = "MyLoginID">
<input type = "hidden" name = "x_version" value = "3.0">
<input type = "hidden" name = "x_show_form" value = "payment_form">
<input type = "hidden" name = "x_amount" value = "1.00">
<input type = "submit" value = "Click Here for Secure Order">
</form>
Merchants
can also check the status of transactions or run reports on past activity
by going to the Authorize.Net Web site and logging on to their own password-protected
Authorize.Net site. Online businesses can also use the Authorize.Net
Virtual Terminal to enter payment information manually if customers
prefer to call in with their credit card information.
