[Authorize.net](https://www.authorize.net/), is a powerful payment plugin that allows you to secure and efficient transactions for your forms, subscriptions, or e-commerce needs. This article will guide you through **configuring** **Authorize.net** in your **WordPress** **Site** with the **Paymattic** plugin.

## Configuring Authorize.net Payment Method #

To learn how to configure the Authorize.net payment gateway through Paymattic, follow the steps with screenshots below –

First, go to **Payment Gatewa**y from the **Paymattic Navbar**, click the **Authorize.net**tab from the left sidebar, and the **Authorize.net Settings** page will open.

Click the **Install & Activate** **Authorizedotnet** button to connect Authorize.net with Paymattic.

This add-on needs to be installed the first time you integrate with Authorize.net.

Once you are on the **authorize.net Settings** page, select any **Payment Mode** between **Test** (for test payments) and **Live**(for real payments) as both options follow the same configuration process, e.g., I choose the **Test Mode**.

Then, you need to obtain the**API Login ID, Transaction key, Client Key,** and **Signature key** from your **Authorize.net Account**.

To easily get access to the dashboard of your authorize.net account, click the **account dashboard** link as shown in the screenshot below.

#### **Enable E-Check Payment Option** #

Authorize.net also allows you to accept E-Check payments. An E-Check, or electronic check, is a payment method that allows customers to pay directly from their bank account (checking or savings) instead of using a credit card.

On the **Authorize.net Settings** page, scroll down below the API key fields.

Now, simply click the **toggle** button to activate the **Enable E-Check payment option** as shown in the screenshot.

### Get All the Required Credentials from Authorize.net #

To learn how to get **Publishable key** and **Secret Key** from your [Authorize.net](https://www.authorize.net/), follow the steps with screenshots below –

## Setup Authorize.net Webhooks #

To learn how to configure the **Authorize.net Webhooks** to your WordPress Site, follow the steps with the screenshots below –

To ensure your Authorize.net dashboard and Paymattic dashboard are in sync, you must configure the Authorize.net Webhooks.

First, copy the**Webhook URL** and recommended **Webhook Events**forsmooth transactions based on **Authorize.net** data related. You will need them later to configure Authorize.net Webhooks to your WordPress Site.

![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/13.-Copy-webhook-url-and-events-scaled.webp)

Now, visit your [Authorize.net Dashboard](https://developer.authorize.net/hello_world/sandbox.html), go to the **ACCOUNT**section from the **Navbar**, and click the **Webhooks**tab under **Business Settings**.

![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/14.-Webhooks-of-authorizedotnet.webp)

Now, Click the **Add Endpoint**button.

![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/15.-Add-Endpoint-1.webp)

Now, go to the **Endpoint Info** section, provide a **Name** for your endpoint, paste the **Webhook URL** you copied from the **Authorize.net Settings** page into the **Endpoint URL** field, and select the **Status** as **Active** from the dropdown list.

Then, go to the **Select Events** section, and choose the events recommended by Paymattic for Authorize.net to send to your endpoint by opening the **checkboxes options**.

![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/16.-Paste-webhook-endpoint.webp)

Now, choose the events recommended by Paymattic for Authorize.net to send to your endpoint. You can findyour **desired events** by entering their **Name** or **Description**intothe**Events**fields, and can **select** **events** by clicking the **checkboxes**.

**The Events recommended by Paymattic are briefly explained below:**

- net.authorize.payment.authcapture.created: This triggers when a payment is authorized and captured (successfully charged).

- net.authorize.payment.fraud.declined: This triggers when a transaction is declined due to fraud filters.

- net.authorize.payment.void.created: This triggers when a payment is voided (invalidated) before settlement.

- net.authorize.customer.subscription.expired: This triggers when a subscription reaches its end date and expires.

- net.authorize.customer.subscription.expiring: This triggers when a subscription is about to expire (usually a few days before).

Once you select all the suggested**Webhook Events**, click the **Save**button.

## Integrate Authorize.net in Forms #

Once you finish setting up your Authorize.net payment gateway, you can easily integrate this payment method into your WordPress Site through Paymattic Forms.

**To learn how to integrate the Authorize.net in Forms, follow the steps below –**

First, go to the **All Forms**section from the **Pymattic Navbar,**choosea**Form,**and click the **Pencil/Edit** icon to open the **Editor** page of that form.

If you do not have any existing form, read the [Create a Form from Scratch](/docs/how-to-create-a-form-from-scratch-with-paymattic/) or [Create a Form using Templates](/docs/simple-form-templates/) documentation. For example, I choose an existing form to show the whole process.

![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/18.-Open-desired-form-2-scaled.webp)

Once you open the **Editor** page, add the **Payment Method**fields by typing the**“ / ”**or clicking the **Plus Icon** placed at the bottom.

Remember, don’t forget to add a product field in the form. **For example**, I am adding the [Payment Item](/docs/how-to-add-payment-item-fields-in-wordpress-with-paymattic/) as a Product Field.”

![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/19.-Click-Plus-Icon-scaled.webp)

Now, open the **Payment Method Fields** section by clicking the **Arrow Icon**, and select the **AuthorizeDotNet** payment field to use this platform as the payment method for this form.

Remember, the added payment method in your **Form** will not function unless you properly complete the configuration process of payment gateways.  

To configure the **Payment Gateway** on your Site, click [here](/docs/) and read the **Payment Method Fields**‘ **Documentation** you selected as a payment method.
