Authorize.net Payment Terminal WordPress

Overview

Authorize.net Payment Terminal WordPress allows you to have a quick & easy credit card payment terminal for your clients processed by authorize.net on your wordpress site. Installation and configuration of the script takes less than 5 minutes (however you do need to have SSL and stripe.com account).

 

There are several options to pay.

– customers can select service from a list

– customers can input price themselves

– customers can be directed to pay for particular service

You need to generate button (with many different options/settings available to select from) and then you can place it anywhere on your wordpress site, in page or in post. We’ve also included a widget area, which accepts button code too, so you can use widget to place same button.

Upgrading

At the moment, there is no automatic plugin update from within wordpress administration for this product.

 

To update to the latest version (when you receive a notification from codecanyon for example)

– you just need to download the file from codecanyon downloads area, then reupload all the files through FTP (please use FTP client, something like FileZilla will work just fine * Filezilla- project.org ). Alternatively, you can upload the plugin zip folder through wordpress plugins section.

 

If you will deactivate and delete the plugin through wp admin area and then upload new one also through wp admin area – that will work as well, however, please note that all settings and widgets will be dropped, and you will need to edit those again. Buttons and Services will stay intact though, but copy/paste the authorize.net API information before removing plugin – as it will be wiped out and you’ll need to re-enter it once new version installed & activated.
