Transitioning from Classic Authorize.net to New Authorize.net
Authorize.net
to New Authorize.net
The transition from classic
Authorize.net
to the new Authorize.net
provides a cleaner
user interface resulting in an improved customer experience. This transition is
accomplished almost seamlessly, without changes to the Authorize.net
API and required
only a minor change to the user interface. This interface change occurs with the
creation of customer profiles. In the new
Authorize.net
, when creating a customer profile, you must provide a name and
an email address. If the customer profile is for a person, a first and last name is
required; if the profile is for a business, the company name is required. Note that the
name and email requirement is only for new customer profiles. Legacy customer profiles
from classic Authorize.net
do not require a name and email address. You do not have to
make any changes to existing customer profiles.
