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 gateway behind tens of thousands of US-based WooCommerce stores — particularly older shops that originally onboarded with a merchant-services reseller (an ISO) and got Authorize.Net bundled in. The relationship persists because changing gateways is annoying and Authorize.Net works.
Oliver POS plugs in via the existing WooCommerce plugin, so an established Authorize.Net merchant can adopt Oliver at the counter without changing processors, contracts, or merchant accounts.
How the Accept Hosted page works at the Oliver register
Authorize.Net offers an "Accept Hosted" page — a Visa-secured payment form hosted on Authorize.Net's domain. Oliver opens that page in the in-POS browser view at the moment of payment. The customer enters their card; Authorize.Net authorises and captures the charge; Oliver records the WooCommerce order. The card data never touches your store, which keeps PCI scope minimal.
eCheck (ACH) at the counter
Authorize.Net 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 checking-account number directly through Authorize.Net's hosted page can save 2%+ on cards.
Best fit for retailers who…
Pick Authorize.Net at the Oliver POS if you're a US merchant who already has an Authorize.Net account through an ISO and don't want to change. Modern, greenfield retailers usually have better options (Stripe Checkout for flat-rate, Adyen or Braintree for interchange-plus), but switching gateways is a project — for many merchants, "keep Authorize.Net, add Oliver POS" is the right answer.
