The most interesting service offered by Merchant Express is WebLink. It allows you to link your web site to the system in order to accept credit card payments from customers in real-time with complete automation.

At its most basic level, interaction between a web page, an authorizenet shopping cart and the system through the WebLink method takes the following form:

  • A customer navigates through your web site, selecting what they would like to purchase.

  • The customer fills out their information using a simple form or through an authorizenet shopping cart. Note that most all shopping carts are pre-integrated with Authorize.Net.

  • The customer is then presented with a secure Payment Form. This form resides on a secure server and the transaction is processed using 128 bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

    This secure payment form is provided for you as part of the Authorize.Net system so there is no need for you to purchase a secure certificate! The credit card information is then sent over this secure network to the bank for authorization.

  • When the authorization process is complete -- this takes around 2 seconds, a Receipt Page is shown to the customer, which the customer can print out or save for their records. In addition a receipt is emailed to the customer as well as to the merchant.

    That's it! With WebLink, you can literally put your business on autopilot and let the orders come in. Linking your website to the Authorize.Net system using WebLink is easy.

    Your website designer or developer simply inserts a few lines of HTML code to establish the link. You can start to sell through your cheap merchant account very quickly!

    If you need greater flexibility than the WebLink method provides, Authorize.Net offers you Automated Direct Connect (ADC) methods. ADC methods bypass the Payment Form and Receipt Page used with the WebLink method and allow you to connect your server directly to the system's gateway server to process transactions in real-time.

    In addition Merchant Express offers you wireless access to the Virtual Terminal AT NO ADDITIONAL COST through a handheld PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) that has wireless Internet access.

    To get your cheap merchant account, simply fill out the online merchant account application, select Authorize.Net as your processing option and you are on your way!

    It is a free service and there is no cost or obligation.
