Authorize.NetTM
WebLink is a secure online payment-processing system
that allows Internet-based businesses to authorize, process and
manage credit card transactions directly from their Web site. There
are no worries about the complicated software, hardware and expertise
normally associated with enabling e-commerce.
WebLink works in one of two ways: It either captures the necessary
customer information (name, credit card number, etc.) from a merchant’s
own secure transaction page, or it displays a customizable transaction
page hosted on an Authorize.Net secure server, for the customer
to fill out.
The customer’s information is encrypted using 40- or 128-bit Secure
Socket Layer technology and sent to an Authorize.Net transaction
server. The server sends the data through the authorization network
to the appropriate card issuer's bank, using 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 are funded within two to
three business days.
Merchants can 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. And online
businesses can use the Authorize.Net Virtual Terminal to enter payment
information manually if customers prefer to call in their credit
card information.
Linking a merchant's Web site to the Authorize.Net WebLink system
is simple. The merchant's Web site designer or developer simply
inserts a few lines of HTML code (which we provide) onto the transaction
page. 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 that must be implemented 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 to Continue">
</form>
