No headaches and it just sits in the background doing what its supposed to be doing. ----- ### "Solo provider clinic" — 4.0/5 > **Kristi** | *30 May 2025* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: it integrates with my EMR, Patients can pre pay when they make their appointment. There is a subscription/reoccuring model that can be used. > > **Cons**: I feel the dashboard is pretty complicated. I struggle often to find certain transactions and data. If I need to issue a refund or if I want to see a report for the month I feel there are a lot of steps just to do this,. > > I love that it integrates with my EMR and I can so subscription model charges. These are the most important factors for me and my practice. ----- ### "If you are not a desinger" — 3.0/5 > **sean** | *5 May 2025* | Fine Art | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The system is okay but if you are not a designer then you would not really know what to do > > **Cons**: not for every company that is looking to sell online > > that my experience is not good at all there was alot of problmes ----- ### "I've only used it because I've had to" — 4.0/5 > **Alec** | *14 April 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is the most widely accepted payment processor by merchant service providers and billing systems > > **Cons**: The user interface is convoluted and not very intuitive. I end up using the back-end software of my payment processor instead. Also, rates tend to be higher than other solutions I've used in the past. > > I use Authorize.net because it is the only solution available to a specific program I need to collect payments through. It offers what is needed to collect payments in the most widely used network of providers but it's pricier than most and not easy to navigate. ----- ### "Good integration with Frontline" — 4.0/5 > **Laurie** | *3 December 2024* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: We used Authorize.net because they have an integration with our tracking/invoicing software, Frontline. > > **Cons**: It did not have at the time we switched away from it the ability to integrate a link for payment with the invoice in Frontline. It also took longer to receive our money from Authorize compared to our newer provider. > > The customer service was very personal. We had an account manager from authroize.net that was very personable and helpful. It integrated nicely with Frontline, but didn't have all the options that we needed. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/10209/authorizenet?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/10209/authorizenet) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
