Authorize.Net for WooCommerce POS
Authorize.Net (Visa) gateway inside the Oliver POS for WooCommerce.
Powered through the Authorize.Net for WooCommerce plugin — install it on WordPress, configure under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments, and Oliver picks it up at the register automatically.
How Authorize.Net works with Oliver POS for WooCommerce
Authorize.Net is the original US online payment gateway, owned by Visa, and still the gateway of record for a large slice of established US WooCommerce stores. Oliver POS uses its WooCommerce plugin and opens its hosted Accept page in the in-POS browser view.
Why Authorize.Net is still relevant in 2026
Authorize.Net was founded in 1996 and is now owned by Visa. It's the payment gateway used by tens of thousands of US-based WooCommerce stores — especially older shops that first signed up with a merchant-services reseller (an ISO) and got Authorize.Net as part of the deal. They stick with it because changing gateways is a hassle, and Authorize.Net gets the job done.
Oliver POS connects through the existing WooCommerce plugin, so a long-time Authorize.Net user can start using Oliver at the counter without changing their payment processor, contracts, or merchant accounts.
How the Accept Hosted page works at the Oliver payment counter
Authorize.Net has an "Accept Hosted" page — a secure payment form hosted by Visa on Authorize.Net's own domain. When it's time to pay, Oliver opens this page in the in-POS browser view. The customer enters their card details, Authorize.Net approves and processes the payment, and Oliver records the order in WooCommerce. Your store never handles the card data directly, which minimises your PCI compliance requirements.
eCheck (ACH) at the counter
Authorize.Net also supports US eCheck – direct ACH bank debits – through the same gateway. For B2B retailers and specialty wholesalers selling at trade shows, accepting a customer's bank account number directly through Authorize.Net's hosted page can save you 2% or more compared to card fees.
Best for retailers who…
Choose Authorize.Net for your Oliver POS if you're a US merchant already using an Authorize.Net account through an ISO and prefer not to switch. Newer businesses or those starting fresh usually have better options (like Stripe Checkout for flat-rate pricing, or Adyen/Braintree for interchange-plus), but switching payment gateways is a big job. For many, the best solution is to "keep Authorize.Net, add Oliver POS".
