Authorize.net

Authorize.net is one of the world's most respected payment processors. You will need to open an account with a third-party Authorize.net reseller - they do not sell directly to merchants. YOU MUST FIRST have a valid Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate properly installed. Ask your web host to install this for you.

For additional assistance with Authorize.net AIM, see http://www.authorize.net/support/AIM_guide.pdf After SSL is installed, go to CONFIGURATION - Configuration - Shop Tab and make sure the "Enable SSL for sensible areas (recommended)" box is checked.
