How do online merchant services solutions Authorize.net & PlugNPay differ?
Online merchant services can be more expensive than traditional retail payment processing, with higher transaction fees, merchant services gateway fees, and the expense of setting up an online shopping cart.
Your e-commerce payment gateway must integrate with the shopping cart and is a critical component of your online payment processing system. The gateway is a service provider that authorizes payments and encrypts sensitive payment data, making the shopping experience you offer customers safe and secure.
We work with two different e-commerce gateways, Authorize.net and PlugNPay, and are often asked about the differences between the two. Which gateway is right for your business?
First, we offer low merchant services rates and fees for both options, with easy setup and a variety of free shopping carts that integrate with any website.
We are able to offer both Authorize.net and PlugNPay with rates starting as low as 1.05% and each allows e-commerce, phone, or mail order payments. Online retailers who also operate a physical store can use these gateways for in-store payments with the speed and security of an encrypted internet connection.
