They offer plan for high risk business sectors too and process cards in a lot of currencies. Plug-ins available for almost every platform out there and clear payments to bank daily. > > **Cons**: I found there interface little tricky and needed expert’s help to integrate with my e-commerce site. > > Great\! I call them the universal card processor for almost every sort of business ----- ### "Fast, Easy, Low-Cost Card Processing" — 5.0/5 > **Joseph** | *1 October 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: They have the lowest rates for processing i could find. They also integrate with nearly all web publishing platforms. Their woocommerce integration is seamless. > > **Cons**: There's nothing to dislike about them. I haven't experienced down time. > > Very quick and easy to open an account and start processing payments at a low rate with excellent integration options. ----- ### "Slow Payments, Convoluted Explanations for Account Use" — 3.0/5 > **Josh** | *19 November 2021* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I do like that Authorize.net is pretty widespread in its use, and that I feel I can implement it in a variety of mediums including SuiteDash CRM and Payments, my website, etc. It is rather versatile in that sense and allows for customization or more simplicity if needed. > > **Cons**: If you are doing anything beyond setting up Authorize.net with them directly and having them manage your processor, it is really difficult to figure out what to do and what you need. Customer service is great, but I prefer to just get things done on my own without multiple phone calls to set things up. Payments come slowly and it just overall feels really outdated for me. > > Overall, Authorize.net has some benefits like customer trust and fraud prevention and if you are good at code, it might be great for you. Otherwise it seems a little outdated and complicated to set up and use beyond their automated features. ----- ### "Authorize.net is a great partner for any business." — 4.0/5 > **Fernando** | *18 August 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excellent platform for credit card and ACH online payment processing > > **Cons**: It hasn't changed much since its launch and it could add some new features. > > I have been extremely happy with AuthorizeNet.
