When Aaron Lozier, CEO of Information ArchiTECH, was asked to build a new online raffle solution to benefit the Community Foundation of Acadiana, his first choice for payments was Authorize.Net.
“We chose Authorize.Net for a few important reasons. First, we knew it would be fast and reliable. We are expecting a significant spike in traffic in advance of the final drawing, and we have a firm midnight cut-off date. We needed to be sure our payment processor would be able to provide near-instantaneous feedback on payment approval before provisioning tickets to the customer.
Second, given the custom nature of our solution, we needed a platform that would be easy to integrate. Authorize.Net’s PHP SDK couldn't have been easier to use, and we appreciated its use of PHP best practices and clearly written documentation.
Finally, we needed to thoroughly test our solution without, obviously, using real paymentt card data. Using Authorize.Net's developer sandbox allowed us to fully test every aspect of the integration, from payment authorization to review of the transaction in the sandbox Merchant Interface. Authorize.Net was one aspect of our solution we never had to worry about!”
