Seamless, Simple Checkout

Using the Authorize.net AIM extension allows you to decide what your checkout process will look like, while keeping the customer on your site for the entire process. This gives you maximum control over this experience, providing a slick checkout process for the user and maximum customizability for the business owner.

You can now opt to show detailed decline messages to your customers, no more “an error occurred” error messages!

Support for Automatic Refunds — NEW

Shop employees can now process refunds for an order paid for with Authorize.net AIM directly from within WooCommerce — no more logging into your merchant account to process refunds! Speed up your store management by creating full or partial refunds from the “Edit Order” screen and sending the transaction automatically to Authorize.net by clicking “Refund via Credit Card”.

If the transaction has not been captured or settled, a transaction void will be performed automatically instead to cancel the order.

Authorize.net Emulation with Authorize.net SIM

It’s possible to use the WooCommerce Authorize.net AIM extension with other gateways that support Authorize.net emulation (such as eProcessing Network). You’ll need to enable the Authorize.net SIMgateway to use either the Authorize.net SIM gateway or Authorize.net emulation.

Full Support for Authorize.net eChecks

Customers with US bank accounts can checkout using their bank account information for a checking or savings account. To use this feature, you must have an active Authorize.net eCheck account.

Capture Charges directly from WooCommerce – NEW

Some users choose to set the payment gateway to only authorize charges rather than authorize & capture them. However, this requires the user to then log into the payment gateway admin to capture charges. Versions 3.0+ of this extension allow you to optionally capture previously authorized transactions directly from the WooCommerce Edit Order screen rather than logging into your Authorize.net control panel to do so. Simply edit the order, select the “Capture Charge” action, and charges will be captured through Authorize.net.
