The short answer
- The software company owns the connection. It builds the connector, documents what it does and decides when to retire it.
- Status matters more than the logo. Built in, an add-on, a third-party connector and an ended integration behave very differently after a change.
- A gateway is not an integration. The gateway carries the card sale; the integration ties it to your store, ERP or POS. See payment gateways for the gateway side.
- Check before you change. Saved cards, recurring billing and refunds depend on the exact version you run. We confirm what carries over in writing first.
What the status labels mean
These four labels say how the software company documents the connection, and nothing else. A listing here is not a promise that CleverPays supports every setup; we confirm yours in writing.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Built in | The software company ships the connection inside its own product or its own payments app |
| Official add-on | An extension listed on the software's own marketplace, maintained by a named developer |
| Through a connector | No built-in option. A third-party connector or custom code joins the two |
| Support ended | The software company has retired the connection. Existing setups need a new route |
Online stores and booking software
WooCommerce connects to Authorize.Net through an official add-on, while BigCommerce, HighLevel and Checkfront each build the connection in.
| Software | Gateway | Status | What its documentation covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| WooCommerce | Authorize.Net | Official add-on | Saved cards, authorize and capture, refunds and voids, Subscriptions |
| BigCommerce | Authorize.Net | Built in | On its Canadian gateway list. A platform fee now applies to Authorize.Net orders |
| HighLevel | Authorize.Net | Built in | Invoices, order forms, payment links, subscriptions, refunds |
| Checkfront | Authorize.Net | Built in | Deposits and later balances, 30-day holds, refunds, sandbox |
Other gateways have their own connectors for these platforms. The gateways by software table lists which ones each platform documents.
ERP and business software
Cin7 Core and Brightpearl build Authorize.Net in, NetSuite needs a connector, and Acumatica ended its Authorize.Net support on 30 June 2025.
| Software | Gateway | Status | What its documentation covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| NetSuite | Authorize.Net and others | Through a connector | No built-in Authorize.Net option. A third-party connector or custom code joins them |
| Cin7 Core | Authorize.Net | Built in | Pay links on quotes and invoices, B2B Portal payments, saved customer profiles |
| Brightpearl | Authorize.Net | Built in | Through the Brightpearl Payments app. Payments on orders and customer accounts, capture on shipping, refunds |
| Acumatica | Authorize.Net | Support ended | Acumatica ended Authorize.Net support on 30 June 2025 |
NetSuite has its own section: Authorize.Net with NetSuite, reconciliation, CAD, USD and subsidiaries and Level 2 and 3 data.
Point of sale
A point of sale connects to payments in one of three ways, and which one you have decides what moves between the POS and the terminal on its own.
| Route | What it means | Page |
|---|---|---|
| An existing supported connection | A connection the POS and payment provider already offer. We review its requirements and the functions it covers | POS compatibility |
| A separate payment step | A standalone terminal or another process outside the POS. Staff key the amount and reconcile separately | POS compatibility |
| A custom integration project | Development where no product covers the requirement. Scope, access, testing and maintenance are agreed before work begins | POS compatibility |
For the terminals and software behind these routes, see semi-integrated POS and integrated POS.
Where CleverPays fits
The software company builds and maintains each connector. The gateway company runs the gateway. The company that processes your card payments approves and settles them. CleverPays makes none of the software on this page.
We can read your setup and name each part: the software, its version, the connector, the gateway and the account behind it. We can tell you what a change would affect, in writing, before anything moves. Where we can set up the account, we will say so; where a custom project is needed, we will scope it with you first.
