The transferring of money to clients and partners is highly reliable; it assists in avoiding fraud issues. > > **Cons**: Account settings and updating staff permissions took some getting used to when dealing with a bigger team. Managing fees and multiple accounts is confusing at first. > > With this, our team is able to process safe payments and manage accounts with fewer errors, bringing more speed and confidence to our export operations. ----- ### "Middle of the road" — 3.0/5 > **Leslie** | *23 March 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Value for the money, security and account management is fairly straightforward. Their system is flexible for integration. > > **Cons**: The interface is outdated in many respects. They need a modernization. It hasn't changed in quite some time. ----- ### "Good Stripe alternative for Woocommerce" — 4.0/5 > **Hilary** | *11 December 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: API access is great and there are paid plugins that make integrating with WooCommerce very easy. The also have low fees > > **Cons**: Their merchant UI is very outdated. It’s hard to find things and it’s small and hard to read sometimes. Looks like it was built in the 90s and never updated. > > Good\! With the good rates, and integration by SkyVerge for WooCommerce I can definitely recommend authorize.net ----- ### "Property Management and Authorize" — 5.0/5 > **Dru** | *29 November 2025* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very streamlined service for payment confirmation and authorization. Highly recommended for property management to ensure all payment details are securely kept in a centralized location. > > **Cons**: The interface can be a bit outdated at times and requested system updates are not as quick as we would like. Can be a bit of a learning curve in the beginning due to the interface. > > Overall the experience is the system is not only cost effective but has greatly helped with money transfers and being able to account for them. ----- ### "Authorize is a handy tool" — 3.0/5 > **Dana** | *31 October 2025* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Authorize helps us securely capture payment from customers on our eCommerce customer facing site that is a partnership with our fulfillment business. It is easier to use than our home grown software for the end user for sure. > > **Cons**: We need separate accounts for US and Canadian payments. This means that we have to log in and out depending on the ship destination. It's also not the most user friendly on the back end. > > It's been fine, it does what it sets out to do but I don't consider it to be ground breaking. It does seem to have security figured out which is a nice plus. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/54911/authorizenet?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/54911/authorizenet) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
