About Authorize.NET Payment Processing

Authorize.Net® offers two secure online payment-processing connection methods that allow Internet-based businesses to authorize, process, and manage credit card transactions directly and automatically from RocketCart.

Advanced Integration Method (AIM) is the preferred Authorize.Net integration solution, and uses secure sockets layer (SSL) digital certificate technology to connect securely and directly to the Payment Gateway—achieving the highest security for the Internet connection between a merchant and the gateway. Simple Integration Method (SIM) optimizes the security, encryption, and authentication of transactions for merchants that do not have an SSL digital certificate. RocketCart prefers the AIM solution and provides SSL solutions that work with Authorize.et.

AIM and SIM provide the highest levels of secure transaction infrastructure available to merchants building a RocketCart business and directly connecting that your website to the Authorize.Net Payment Gateway.

When using AIM and SIM to connect to the Payment Gateway, your customer enters purchase information (e.g., name, credit card number, etc.) into a payment form on your RocketCart website.

Merchants can check the status of current transactions submitted directly from their website or run reports on past transaction activity by going to the Authorize.Net Corporate site and logging into their own password-protected Merchant Interface. Online businesses also can use the Authorize.Net Virtual Terminal feature of their Merchant Interface account to enter payment information manually if customers prefer to call in their credit card information. The RocketCart Virtual Terminal connects seamlessly to the Authorize.Net Virtual Terminal system.
