Description

Authorize.Net Payment Gateway Addon adds the Authorize.Net processor as a payment option at BookingPress checkout, allowing customers to complete bookings by paying with a credit card processed directly through the establishment’s Authorize.Net account. The extension captures card data in the booking form, sends the transaction to Authorize.Net’s API, and records the payment status in the booking, linking reservation and charge in a single flow.

Main Features

  • Payment via Authorize.Net: enables the Authorize.Net gateway as a billing method in BookingPress checkout steps.
  • Charge at booking time: processes the customer’s credit card as soon as the booking is confirmed, with no manual charging afterward.
  • Credentials setup in dashboard: inserts Authorize.Net’s API Login ID and Transaction Key directly into BookingPress payment settings.
  • Sandbox and production modes: allows switching between test and live environments to validate the charging flow before going live.
  • Payment status logging in booking: records the transaction result (approved, declined, pending) in the booking record, keeping reservation and payment synchronized.

Benefits of Authorize.Net Payment Gateway Addon

  • Reduces unpaid bookings: charging occurs at the time of booking, decreasing no-shows and defaults.
  • Uses existing Authorize.Net account: businesses already operating with the gateway do not need to open a new account or switch providers.
  • Centralizes financial flow: billing history is linked to the booking within BookingPress, eliminating parallel spreadsheets.
  • Credit card directly at checkout: the customer completes scheduling and payment on the same screen, shortening the path to confirmation.

Who Is It For?

  • Clinics, offices, salons, and studios already using BookingPress that need to accept credit card payments through Authorize.Net.
  • Service businesses in the United States and Canada with an active Authorize.Net merchant account.
  • Hourly or session service providers who want to charge in advance to reduce last-minute cancellations.

Recommended for service companies with schedules based on BookingPress operating with Authorize.Net as the primary acquirer and aiming to unify booking and charging in a single checkout.
