Description

The Authorize.net addon connects Directorist plan checkout to the Authorize.Net gateway, processing credit cards directly within your directory without redirecting users to external pages. The extension adds Authorize.Net as a payment option in paid submission and listing renewal forms, capturing card data via a secure API and recording each transaction in the Directorist dashboard for later verification.

Main Features

  • Native Authorize.Net gateway: enables credit card processing from Authorize.Net within Directorist’s payment flow.
  • On-site checkout: customers enter card details without leaving the directory, maintaining a consistent experience with other pages.
  • Paid plan billing: processes submission, highlight, and listing renewal fees set in Directorist’s monetization rules.
  • Test mode (sandbox): allows simulating transactions in a staging environment before activating real charges.
  • Transaction logging: records paid orders in the admin panel, facilitating financial reconciliation with Authorize.Net reports.

Benefits of Authorize.net

  • Merchant account receipts: funds go directly to the administrator’s Authorize.Net account, without additional intermediaries in settlement flow.
  • More checkout options: expands directory payment alternatives beyond PayPal and Stripe, reaching users who prefer Authorize.Net card processing.
  • Customer trust: keeping the card form within the site reduces abandonment rates common with external redirects.
  • Simplified reconciliation: each paid listing appears in both the Directorist dashboard and Authorize.Net history, speeding monthly audits.

Who Is It For?

  • Operators of paid directories based on Directorist monetizing submissions and listing renewals.
  • Businesses in regions where Authorize.Net is the preferred or required card processor for clients.
  • Administrators who already have an Authorize.Net merchant account and want to leverage it in their WordPress directory.

For commercial directories charging for ad postings and depending on a reliable card processor in the United States, this extension fills an important gap in Directorist’s monetization flow. By centralizing payment on the site itself, administrators gain control over the customer experience and keep transaction history aligned with Authorize.Net account reports.
