Options range from smaller merchants who need localized credit card processing to larger firms that want a full-fledged storefront. However, the prices for these services tend to be on the high side, especially for the storefront offering. Ideal for storefronts that have a low volume of transactions, merchants can use it to manually enter transactions off-line and process the sales in a batch. The iAuthorizer Web Store service is configured for online stores that sell up to 100 items. The service includes a shopping cart, catalog, and payment processing.
Fees There are three different pricing structures for the three different services.
The development kit includes various scripts and tags that can be used to integrate iAuthorizer with Cold Fusion servers, Microsoft Site Server Commerce Edition, Perl scripts, Java scripts, redirect scripts, and sample order forms. Much of your work will occur through the Merchant Control Console, where you can download sales reports and view system usage. Access to the Merchant Control Console is protected with a secured password login. In addition, all iAuthorizer customers have access to a Virtual Terminal, where a merchant can enter different payment types such as pre-authorized payments, forces, voids, and returns that are not possible via a Web interface. When a transaction has been consummated, both the merchant and the Web customer receive an e-mail message detailing the transaction.
