Authorize.Net is pleased to introduce the Shopping Cart Certification (SCC) program, which presents a tremendous opportunity to market your shopping cart solution. Through official certification with Authorize.Net, you can distinguish your company as a premier and certified Authorize.Net shopping cart provider. We'll also include your company in the Certified Shopping Cart Directory on our Web site, where we direct thousands of visiting Web merchants. By maintaining your certification, you will receive first-hand system development news and information about new features and upgrades.

Program Overview

The SCC program is a set of minimum technical requirements that participating shopping carts must meet in order to obtain certification as an Authorize.Net-preferred shopping cart provider. The program is designed to provide shopping carts with the information and integration specifications needed for complete compatibility with the latest Authorize.Net application program interface (API), as well as the most recent security features available to merchants.

This site is designed to provide you with all the information you will need to understand and complete the SCC process. Included, you will find:

* Information about the ease and benefits of certification.

* The technical requirements for certification.

* How to apply for, and successfully complete, certification.

The SCC program offers participating shopping carts several significant benefits:

* Preferred Shopping Cart Status - Once you successfully complete the certification process, we will list your shopping cart in our Certified Shopping Cart Directory on our Web site. We strongly recommend certified shopping carts to our network of over 185,000 merchants to guarantee a compatible, high-quality solution.

* Increased Flexibility & Customization-Advanced Integration Method (AIM) - Authorize.Net requires all participating shopping carts to integrate to the payment gateway via Advanced Integration Method (AIM), our most sophisticated connection method.
