How AuthorizeNet processes transactions

1. AuthorizeNet detects that an order has been placed, securely encrypts and forwards the Authorization Request to the Consumer’s Credit Card Issuer to verify the consumer’s credit card account and funds availability.

2. The Authorization (or Decline) Response is returned via AuthorizeNet to the Merchant. (Round-trip, this process averages less than three seconds).

3. Upon approval, the Merchant fulfills the consumer’s order.

4. AuthorizeNet sends the settlement request to the Merchant Account Provider.

5. The Merchant Account Provider deposits transaction funds into the Merchant’s Checking Account.
