Authorize.net and Acumatica: Changes coming June 2025
The Evolution of Payment Processing in Acumatica with Authorize.net
Since its integration into Acumatica’s cloud ERP solution in 2014, Authorize.net has been a trusted payment gateway for organizations of all sizes. This partnership provided users with secure, tokenized payment processing directly within their Acumatica, enabling seamless credit card and eCheck transactions. It quickly became a popular choice for eCommerce businesses and other industries requiring streamlined workflows.
Recognizing the growing need for more modern, embedded solutions, Acumatica began developing its own payment processing platform, Acumatica Payments, which was officially launched in 2023 as part of the Acumatica 2023 R2 release.
Acumatica Payments has been designed to address evolving business needs by offering a fully integrated payment solution tailored specifically for Acumatica users. Unlike third-party gateways like Authorize.net, Acumatica Payments provides a native experience within the ERP system, reducing costs and integration complexities while enhancing security and functionality.
The end of Support for Authorize.net
As part of it’s modernization strategy, Acumatica recently announced that support for Authorize.net would end on June 30, 2025. This means organizations utilizing the authorize.net gateway in its current state risk of operations disruptions if they do not transition to one of two alternative options: using Paya by Nuvei to retain the authorize.net integration or make the move to Acumatica Payments for the native set up.
