Authorize.net vs. Bolt

Authorize.net is reliable and I feel confident that customers' information is protected. The security protocols used by Authorize.net appear to be as good, and probably better than many credit card payment processors. However, the initial setup process was very difficult. I distinctly recall getting up and running as being very cumbersome and time-consuming. I also was disappointed with how the processing and deposit of payments were not consistent. I distinctly remember regretting the decision to go with Authorize.net. However, as mentioned before, with the time and effort required to get the account set up and running, I refused to go through the process again and try a different provider.

If you have an eCommerce site, then Bolt could work very well for you! We have seen Bolt scale seamlessly as our sales have increased.

• The lack of data portability is a big issue for me.
• Authorize.net uses the same $49.00 gateway setup fee to scam merchants out of money, which is no better than any of the other gateways out there.
• Their customer service is not up to the mark. You can get stuck if you need any help from their end.

• We would like it if Bolt had more financing options with companies like ACIMA
• We would like the option to choose how often we are paid out from Bolt
• We currently have a Big Commerce site but may want to change to Shopify in the future. To my knowledge, Bolt does not currently support Shopify at this time.

I have no experience directly with the support offered by Authorize.Net.

We had previously used SAGE and Transaction Express. We've also explored Stripe, Amazon Pay, and Apple Pay as parallel payment options. In every situation, Authnet has better rates with fewer strings attached. It has also proven to have a significantly rich API which is a must-have for any solution we implement.

• Lets us charge cards so we can get paid on time, every time.
• It was very difficult to setup the DocuSign integration the first time, but after we got it setup, it's made the onboarding process very easy. That probably saves about 30 minutes every time we get a new client.
