Doing business on the Net means finding a secure, cost-effective, and reliable way to collect payment and process transactions. Authorize.Net fills that need with a server-based real-time transaction processing system. You can use the system to submit, authorize, capture, and settle credit card and electronic check transactions without the need for a separate transaction terminal or processing software. A FREE Secure Order page is included for you to take orders over the Web - no need to buy your own certificate!

However, in order to use Authorize.Net's awesome features with ASP.NET or in any other way with one of the .Net languages you need a specific middleware component to negotiate the protocol with the payment gateway.

Before using Olvio.Ecommerce you need a merchant account with Authorize.Net. If you do not have one you can easily open an account by clicking here. The setup is fast and easy and you will enjoy all the benefits of accepting credit cards online for your business.



  Olvio.Ecommerce is a FREE component that allows you to:

• Submit transactions to the Authorize.Net payment gateway using the Advanced Integration Method
• Redirect the current web page to the free payment form hosted by Authorize.Net, called the Simple Integration Method
• Create your own Virtual Terminal using Windows Forms to receive your customer's payments
• Process credit/debit card payments as well as electronic checks.

  The Olvio.Ecommerce component saves you time by:

• Generating the transaction request and parsing the response

• Internal HMACMD5 hashing algorithm to compute the SIM method's request hash signature
