The term "Card Present" describes a credit card transaction that is initiated at the point of sale (POS). When the credit card is swiped at purchase, data from the cards magnetic strip is read and transmitted via a physical terminal connected to the Authorize.Net Payment Gateway. This solution is best for merchants with a store front or who attend trade events.

eCom Merchant Solutions & Authorize.Net are proud to offer the long awaited solution to the Card Present Retailer!

Authorize.Net can accept retail card transactions from a wide range of businesses, for example: sports venues, clothing and furniture stores, doctor’s offices, self service kiosks, hotel reservations and restaurants; even mobile merchants such as limousine and other transportation services or businesses selling items at craft fairs and trade shows.

Please Note* at this time Authorize.Net Card Present capabilities do not include hospitality transactions (e.g. hotel transactions) or debit transactions. In addition, we do not currently support the Visa and Master Card restaurant transactions format. However, we can accept Card Present transactions from restaurants when transactions are formatted as retail transactions rather than restaurant transactions. With the appropriate programming of POS software, tips can be managed effectively. For more information, e-mail integration@authorize.net .

Benefits of IP-Based Card Present Transaction Processing
