When using Authorize.net as my payment gateway, what type of account should I select, Web Merchant or Retail Merchant?

  • PRICING TIER: All

  • APPOINTMENT VERSION: Single & Multiple


There are two types of accounts to choose from:
​
1. Web Merchant
This type of account is what works with the scheduling system. It is for online credit card transactions.
​
2. Retail Merchant
This type of account is for processing credit card transactions within your company/organization (i.e. via a card swipe machine).
​
If you process transactions online and in your retail location, you will need both accounts. There are different fees and liabilities for each one.
