The Authorize.Net DPM payment gateway allows you to accept major credit cards, monitor and control transactions, and receive payments quickly. A payment form to your checkout process pay page is posted directly to secure Authorize.net servers, so no complex PCI requirement are involved and no SSL certificate is required, although SSL is still recommended for reasons of trust and security.
Note: We unified all Authorize.Net payment gateways and recommend the new and improved WooCommerce Authorize.Net plugin for the best experience. If you already purchased Authorize.Net DPM, see our FAQ on upgrading your product for free.

↑ Back to topFrequently Asked Questions
↑ Back to topI already purchased Authorize.Net AIM/DPM/SIM. What happens now?
↑ Back to top- If you have one of the Authorize.Net products and an active/unexpired subscription with us, you were gifted with a free subscription to the new Authorize.Net payment gateway up until the renewal date. More details at: Upgrading from another Authorize.Net plugin and FAQs.
- If you have the former (“legacy”) payment gateway installed and your subscription has expired, your gateway will still work and documentation remains online for reference.
- If you had a Lifetime license issued prior to August 1, 2015, you have been gifted a free one-year subscription that will renew annually. “Lifetime” is defined by lifetime of a product, not a purchaser/buyer’s lifetime. Because the unified Authorize.Net is a new product, it is not a continuation of the previous DPM product.
