Using Authorize.net

Authorize.net is a “gateway” to your credit card from a web page. If a consumer wants to use a credit card to make a purchase, certain information must be gathered and sent to your credit card processor. It bounces around from processor to interchange, back through an intermediary, then back to the web page. It’s a pretty complex set of steps and Authorize.Net is the go-between that makes it all work.
At the end of each day, a batch occurs on Authorize.Net that sends the money through the processor into your bank account. If you want to process credit cards for your Vantora System, you will need to Set Up an Authorize.Net Account.

To use Authorize.Net, there is a one-time fee of $49, a monthly fee of $25, plus 10 cents per transaction. Even if your present credit card processor has you on a low rate, this still might be your most cost effective way to go. You will need to contact your credit card processor and obtain what is known as a VAR sheet, and they will set up a new “terminal” for you – which really isn’t a terminal at all – it’s the interface numbers for Authorize.Net. The VAR sheet will supply the three numbers you enter in Authorize.Net, then you will get two codes back. Those you enter in the Vantora area for Settings –> General. Scroll down until you see AuthorizeNet Payment Info and enter the codes there.
Using PayPal
To use paypal, you set up a paypal account, then simply put in the email associated with it in the box as show in the image above. In all honesty, over the last few years, we have had more and more problems with Paypal processing. Their systems seem to have a fair amount of problems, and go down pretty often, making processing credit cards difficult. But for the time, we will still try to keep paypal as an option for you.
