WooCommerce Authorize.net CIM Gateway

Description

The Authorize.net CIM addon processes payments with credit cards stored in the Authorize.net Customer Information Manager vault directly in WooCommerce checkout, allowing customers to save multiple cards on their account and complete future purchases with one click. The integration supports captures, refunds, and voids from the order screen, ideal for those selling subscriptions, recurring services, or high-ticket items and wanting to reduce checkout abandonment.
