Authorize.Net recently launched the Direct Post Method (DPM) which makes it faster than ever to take full control of the checkout process.

The Direct Post Method gives your merchants complete control over the pages related to the checkout experience. You can create your merchant's own checkout form and host it on their own server. If your merchant wants to add analytics to their page, they can. If they want to test different background colors, font sizes, live chat, or blinking text, go for it! You can design, tweak, and test your merchant's checkout forms as you would any other page on their site.

Using DPM, Authorize.Net payments can be posted directly from the customer browser to the Authorize.Net payment gateway, reducing PCI burdens on the merchant's website.

Why You Use Authrize.Net DPM

Using DPM, Authorize.Net payments can be posted directly from the customer browser to the Authorize.Net payment gateway, reducing PCI burdens on the merchant's website. The gateway then posts transaction details to the merchant server which returns a redirect to a thank-you page. The redirect automatically brings the browser back to the merchant site with the result that the URL in the address bar stays on the same origin even though the form action points to the payment gateway.

1. The merchant site presents a payment form to the user, including fields for the payee name, address and credit card details. Any number of details can be pre-filled, and the merchant site can decide which fields are shown, which can be changed, and which are hidden.
2. The payment form is completed by the user. When the user submits the form, it POSTs direct to Authorize.Net not the merchant site.
3. The user is handed over to Authorize.Net, but they don't hang around for long. The supplied credit card details are checked and a decision is made on whether the payment or authorization is approved.
