How to Connect Authorize Net to Shopify, That Survives Real Orders
How to connect Authorize.net to Shopify: under Settings, Payments choose Authorize.net, install the app and enter your API Login ID and Transaction Key. Shopify doesn't work with Authorize.net test mode, so turn it off in your account and use Shopify's own test option. Only one card provider can be active, so Shopify Payments must be off. Check subscription billing support. We configure and test, from $390.

Six Stages From Brief to Live Authorize.Net Sync
A fixed order of work keeps the project predictable. You know what happens next at every point.
- 1
Brief and scope
The brief covers what you sell, how Authorize.Net is used and which events should trigger work. We review some orders and payments to decide the starting point and the limits.
- 2
Access and connection
You grant limited access to Shopify and Authorize.Net through an API key with restricted permissions. Before building, we read live data to prove both connections.
- 3
Map and rule
The map covers charge id, order number, fee and currency; we put the conflict winners and blank rules in writing.
- 4
Build in a copy
We build against test data, not your live records, and show you the plan and a recorded run where it helps.
- 5
Test on real cases
The tests cover an approved payment, a void and a refund, along with refunds and edits, and we check each result against Shopify.
- 6
Go live and hand over
When you say go, the flow goes live. We watch the first runs and leave you notes, a diagram and a recorded walkthrough.

Inside every project
Six Safeguards Built Into Every Authorize.Net Integration
Integrations move customer data between systems, so mistakes are costly. These practices come with every package and explain why a fixed fee can still be a careful one.
Build in a copy, never live
The flow is built and tested against test data. Your live orders and payments are untouched until you approve.
Counts compared, not assumed
We check totals against the source after each load, so mismatches surface straight away.
Failures raise a flag
Failed runs notify a named person with the order and the cause, so silence cannot hide a problem.
Plain scope, two revision rounds
You know the cost up front. Two revision rounds cover changes within scope, which keeps tweaks from becoming extra invoices.
Narrow access, in your name
We request only the permissions the flow needs, via an API key with restricted permissions, and you own every account.
Nothing sent without approval
Anything that emails, texts or posts to a customer is reviewed with you before it is switched on.
Interactive price calculator
Choose Your Authorize.Net and Shopify Package
Start with the scope that matches your store, then adjust for volume, direction and history. You see the fixed price before you pay.
Request a custom quote
Custom objects, unusual authentication, several Shopify stores feeding one Authorize.Net account, high-volume stores above 10,000 orders a month, and builds that need your own servers are quoted separately at a fixed price.

Why Store Design Expert
What You Get From Us That a Template Does Not
You are paying for judgement and for a result you can inspect, not for hours.
We live inside Shopify
Orders, refunds, edits and metafields are daily work for us. That is a different skill from knowing the menus of Authorize.Net.
4.9+ from verified clients
The reviews here come from verified clients of Store Design Expert, so you can judge past projects before you pay.
Notes a colleague can follow
Handover notes record the data paths and the choices behind each setting, ready for whoever works on it next.
Experience since 2015
We have launched more than 450 Shopify stores since 2015 and met most of the quirks that trip up integrations.
Tested on your real cases
We test the cases your store actually has, such as an approved payment, a void and a refund.
A direct line to the builder
Your messages reach the builder who has your flow open, so trigger and field questions get clear answers.
What we need to get started
Getting Started: What We Ask For
The list is short. Most owners have everything ready in a day.
Approve a collaborator request
Selling already? Send the address and accept a collaborator request. You keep ownership, we get a limited role, and you can revoke it at any moment.
Starting from nothing? We build first
No store yet? We build it in our Partner account, connect Authorize.Net there and transfer the whole store to you, so you choose a plan only at the end.
Or share a staff login
A staff account is an option. The collaborator route is still better, as it can be cancelled instantly and involves no shared password.
Your Authorize.Net access
You can create the account and invite us, or we can create it with your email. In both cases you hold the owner role, and we connect using an API key with restricted permissions.
Sample records
Share a few typical records from both tools, or point us to them. Real examples reveal how your data is really structured.
A decision-maker
Name the person who approves the plan and the test, and tell us which system should win when Authorize.Net and Shopify disagree.
Your Shopify owner password and card details never reach us. Changes are made in a copy, and we note every setting we touch.
