Credit Card Integration with Authorize.net

Members can pay online for user-pay fees through your ChapterPRO website or mobile web app!

  • We integrate using one of the most widely used and long-standing online credit card gateways around, Authorize.net who use EVO as the payment processor.
  • This is an optional add-on for an additional fee of $500/chapter year, or is included in the Ultimate Plan.
  • The user's experience with Authorize.net. is easy for the member as they only need to enter their credit card number, if their profile is already filled in with their name and address.
  • Authorize.net charges a processing fee per transaction which may be passed along to the member as a customized percentage or flat fee per event, displaying to the members or not.

Get Started

1. Go to website, Authorize.net Pricing, or call 888-323-4289 (U.S.) and set up an All-In-One account. You will need to have an Authorize.net account as well as a merchant bank account to connect it to. They will put you in touch with a list of merchant bank underwriters who will require at minimum proof of business registrations, evidence of non-profit registration and a copy of your business license.
*requires a U.S. Bank Account

2. After account is approved, there are three settings required to integrate Authorize.net account with your ChapterPRO site: API Login ID, API Transaction Key and Signature Key. If these have not been setup it is easy to do so with an admin login for Authorize.net. Response/Receipt URL needs to be entered specific to the chapter, we will provide you with the correct url.  (example: https://XXXXX.chapterpro.com/includes/CCProcessors/authorizedotnet/process_sale.php. The "XXXXX" must be replaced with your chapter domain.)

Once they have been created, only one is visible on the Authorize.net site, API Login ID. Unless the other two are known the only option is to reset them. To do that requires the answer to the secret question.

Send us the required Authorize.net information, we’ll take care of the rest.

3. After integration is complete, Authorize or Merchant Account Processor may request screen captures from the site or access to your site for final account approval. Let us know how we can help.
