Click a platform to see the setup
Use this simple guide to understand which gateway path usually makes sense for each website platform.
Shopify setup
Shopify is usually the cleanest option when the merchant needs a direct native payment gateway connection through Authorize.net. This gives the store a familiar checkout flow while still allowing the merchant to use a proper merchant account.
Best fit
- Product based ecommerce stores
- Merchants that want a clean checkout
- Brands that need a gateway path outside basic low risk processors
- Stores that already use Shopify themes, apps, and order management
WordPress setup
WordPress usually runs payments through WooCommerce. From there, the merchant can connect through NMI or Authorize.net depending on the processor, gateway settings, and checkout needs.
Best fit
- WooCommerce stores
- Merchants that care about SEO and custom content
- Stores with custom product pages or educational pages
- Businesses that want more control over plugins and checkout settings
Wix setup
Wix can be more limited for certain high risk payment setups, but there are still options. Merchants may use Bankful, or a redirect checkout page through Ecwid connected to Authorize.net.
Best fit
- Simple websites that need a payment workaround
- Merchants already built on Wix
- Brands that do not want to rebuild immediately
- Stores that can use a redirect checkout flow
BigCommerce setup
BigCommerce can work well for ecommerce merchants that want a scalable storefront and gateway flexibility. Depending on the setup, merchants can use Authorize.net or NMI.
Best fit
- Growing ecommerce brands
- Merchants with larger catalogs
- Stores that need gateway flexibility
- Businesses that want a strong ecommerce platform without a full custom build

Website integration FAQ
Simple answers for merchants trying to connect their website to a payment gateway.
Can every platform connect to every gateway?
No. Each website platform has different gateway rules. Some allow direct gateway integrations, while others may need apps, plugins, Bankful, or a redirect checkout setup.
Is Shopify the easiest option?
Shopify is often one of the cleanest ecommerce options when using Authorize.net because it has a direct native integration path.
What is the best WordPress setup?
Most WordPress stores use WooCommerce. From there, NMI or Authorize.net can be connected depending on the approved gateway and plugin setup.
Can Wix work for high risk merchants?
Yes, but it may require the right workaround. Bankful can be an option, or the merchant may use a redirect checkout page through Ecwid and Authorize.net.
What should be checked before going live?
The website should have clear product pages, privacy policy, refund policy, shipping policy, contact details, terms, checkout disclosures, and a working test transaction.
