“works well”

Pros

We chose Authorize.net because it integrates well with our tracking and invoicing software Frontline.

Cons

When we switched away from it, it did not have the option to integrate a payment link with the invoice in Frontline. Also it took longer to receive our payments from it compared to our new provider.

“Consistently performs well”

Pros

It is basically a 100% trust symbol and I know it will work every time while keeping my transactions safe.

Cons

What I do not like is that when I need a secret key, a security token and a few other things it just feels excessive.
