Ronin Blog

We’ve recently added integration with Authorize.Net, one of the more popular payment gateways. For the impatient, there’s no need to read further - just log in to your account and the option will be waiting for you under the “PayPal/Auth.Net Integration” link.

Integrating with Authorize.Net is fairly straightforward - with one caveat - Authorize.Net only handles USD (United States Dollars) as the currency for every transaction. We’ve held back on the integration until now simply for the reason that we wanted solutions that would appeal to every Ronin user, of whom lots are international, particularly in the UK and rest of Europe. One of Ronin’s strengths is the ability to handle multiple currencies, even within one account and we wanted to make sure we “do it right, or don’t do it at all.” However, there were simply too many requests for Authorize.Net integration to ignore.

With that, we’ve decided to integrate Authorize.Net with the option to still fallback on PayPal (which handles more currencies). So, if you enable both, your USD invoices will simply accept credit cards via Authorize.Net and your other non-USD (CAD, EUR, GBP, etc) invoices will still go through PayPal. You’ll get paid sooner, your clients will be offered the convenience of paying online when applicable, and everyone ends up happier!

Start sending out those invoices! Enjoy!
