But what stands out the most for me is the access to almost every feature a business owner could ask for. > > **Cons**: There's not much that I don't like. Over the years my satisfaction and experience with them has grown immaculately. ----- ### "User friendly, easy to navigate." — 5.0/5 > **Nathalie** | *6 May 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is user friendly, offers the necessary tools for our business and the customer service is very responsive and knowledgeable. > > **Cons**: They could have a more modern platform and would be nice it they could customize it for each business need. > > Overall my experience using this platform is good. I do not have any complaints at the moment and I am satisfied with this product. ----- ### "Great app for ecommerce" — 5.0/5 > **Vipul** | *26 December 2025* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Reporting is the best and then refund process helps us a lot. Any order inquiry for customer is just click of a button. > > **Cons**: If we get reporting by card type without doing any customization will help us as we are getting paid by V/M/D next day and Amex takes little longer. > > Great way to do ecommerce business on authorize.net platform. Reporting helps us a lot and then refund and chargebacks. ----- ### "Safe, secure and GREAT customer support." — 5.0/5 > **Amy** | *8 April 2026* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really love that you can search for past transactions multiple ways. Being able to print out a report for a patient for the entire year for their HSA accounts > > **Cons**: Because it is a separate program, it does not automatically add the patients information and does not automatically post to their account. > > Overall, my experience with Authorize.net has been very positive. Very rarely has there been an issue that was not resolved easily. ----- ### "Overall good but please make changing passwords quicker\!" — 4.0/5 > **Lanika** | *2 June 2025* | Alternative Medicine | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Secure and easy to use and void if necessary. Website is user friendly. Emails are clear. Prices are competitive. > > **Cons**: Understandably they require a password change frequently but it seems to take multiple tries and invariably comes at a time when I am in a rush. A suggestion would be to find a more streamlined way to update passwords. > > Satisfactory. The website is well designed out and finding needed services is quick. The changes in passwords are frequent which is frustrating as it seems to take more time than it should but it is secure. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/127024/authorize-net?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/127024/authorize-net) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
