Easy Digital Downloads Authorize.net Payment Gateway

Easy Digital Downloads Authorize.net is an official extension that connects your digital store built with Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) to the Authorize.net payment gateway, one of the oldest and most reliable credit card processors on the market, owned by Visa. It is designed for entrepreneurs, content creators, and businesses that sell downloadable products such as ebooks, courses, software, templates, music, or any digital file, and that need to accept credit card payments professionally and securely.

The extension allows you to process payments directly from your WordPress site without redirecting your customers to external platforms. Once installed and activated, you only need to enter your Authorize.net API credentials (API Login ID, Transaction Key, and Signature Key) from the EDD settings panel, and activate the gateway as a payment method. The setup process is simple and documented step by step, making it accessible even for those without advanced technical experience.

Among its main features, it supports credit and debit cards from major brands (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover), recurring subscription management with cancellation from both the EDD panel and the Authorize.net panel, and Webhooks configuration so the gateway automatically communicates with your store and keeps order status always synchronized. It also includes the ability to process refunds, either directly from Authorize.net (which automatically marks the payment as refunded in EDD) or manually from both panels.

This extension is ideal for businesses that require a payment processor oriented to specific markets or with specific banking requirements, and that seek a stable solution with institutional backing. By integrating natively with Easy Digital Downloads, it keeps the entire sales flow, download management, and customer tracking within your WordPress, without friction or additional steps for the buyer. If you already sell digital products with EDD and need to accept credit cards with a consolidated and trusted gateway, this extension is the piece that completes your store.
