Authorize.Net connectors

  • Updated

The Optimizely Configured Commerce engineering team is releasing an integration to Spreedly, a global payments ecosystem, in December 2023. All new payment implementations are expected to use the Spreedly integration to facilitate payment processing. Optimizely will not make any feature enhancements to old payment connectors.

Authorize.Net is a plug-in that you can configure to process payments when completing an order in Optimizely Configured Commerce.

Authorize.Net is now using Akamai SureRoute to optimize internet traffic routing, which includes your merchants' transaction requests. Akamai helps safeguard against interruptions caused by issues beyond Authorize.Net's direct control, such as internet congestion, fiber cable cuts and other similar issues. Using Akamai became mandatory starting June 30th, 2016. For additional information about this change, refer to these articles:
