Accept form payments with Authorize.net
Connect your Authorize.net merchant account to Maxforms, add a Payment field, and collect card payments with the customer details your business needs.
What you need before connecting
Use an active Authorize.net merchant account and its API Login ID, Transaction Key, and Signature Key.
These are API credentials, not your Merchant Interface password. If you rotate keys used by another system, update that system as well.

Keep payment status connected to the response

The payment is processed on your merchant account. Maxforms does not hold the funds, and you remain responsible for the transaction with your customer.
