Connect Authorize.net to WooCommerce
Four steps, no code. The full walkthrough with screenshots is in the WooCommerce installation guide.
Open a Authorize.net account
Register with Authorize.net and finish their onboarding. Funds settle from Authorize.net to your own bank account.
Add it in PaymentHood
Paste your Authorize.net credentials into the PaymentHood dashboard. They stay server-side and never reach your storefront.
Install the plugin
Download the WooCommerce plugin and install it from Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin in your WordPress admin.
Enable and test
Paste your PaymentHood API key into the plugin settings, run a sandbox order end to end, then switch to live.
Rather than a direct Authorize.net plugin
A single-provider plugin works until you need a second provider. These are the parts you would otherwise build and maintain yourself.
- Webhook security
- Signed webhook notification, verified before an order is released
- Payment verification
- Server-side transaction status re-check against the Authorize.net API before fulfilment
- Credentials
- API login ID and transaction key, held server-side in PaymentHood
- Add a second provider without touching your WooCommerce checkout
- Automatic failover when Authorize.net is unreachable, instead of a failed order
- Idempotent charge creation, so a double-submitted order is not a double charge
- One reconciliation view across every provider you run
- Free and open source — read the plugin on GitHub (opens in new tab)
