How to Cancel Your Authorize.net Account
Notify your payment processor
Authorize.net is a gateway, so you also need to cancel the separate payment processor you paired with it. Contact both vendors.
Update your website or POS integration
If Authorize.net is connected to your website's shopping cart, you will need to update the payment gateway integration when switching. Coordinate this update with your web developer.
Cancel your Authorize.net account
Contact Authorize.net customer support to cancel. There is a monthly fee that will stop billing once the account is closed.
Export transaction data
Download your transaction history and customer profiles before closing the account.
What to Expect During the Transition
Switching from Authorize.net involves a technical update to any website or POS that used it as a gateway. Liberty Bancard will advise on alternative gateway connections and coordinate the migration with minimal downtime.
Timeline
Day 1–3: Application, statement review, and gateway assessment. Day 3–7: Approval and integration planning. Day 7–14: Go-live (timeline depends on website integration complexity).
