To add/remove credit card types?

To start accepting new card types such as American Express or Discover, follow these steps:

1. Reach out to your Merchant Service Provider (MSP). The MSP operates as your financial institution, managing the deposit of funds into your bank account and maintaining your merchant account with Visa and MasterCard. They also charge you the percentage discount rate on your batch settlements. Work with your MSP to add any additional card types you want to accept to your merchant account.
2. There are no fees from Authorize.net for adding or updating the card types accepted on your Authorize.net account.
3. Once your MSP has updated your merchant account and the payment processor, modify the credit card types you are accepting within your Authorize.net account:
   1. Sign in to the Merchant Interface.
   2. Be on or switched into the New Merchant Interface (2.0)
   3. Click Account and My Business on the left navigation.
   4. Click Processor Details tab.
   5. Check and uncheck the credit card types as needed next to each payment type.
   6. Click Save near the bottom of the page.
   7. A one time-pin (OTP) to the email address on file for your user.
   8. Enter and confirm the one time-pin and click Confirm.
   9. This completed the update.
4. Remember, by enabling Discover Card acceptance, you automatically enable the acceptance of card brands like Diners, UnionPay, and JCB. Therefore, Diners and JCB should be enabled as accepted card types on your Authorize.net account.

Is there a fee for enabling additional card types?

Depending on your account setup there maybe a transaction fee charged by Authorize.net but that is for all card types as they are used. There is no fee for adding a card type to your Authorize.net account. Please check with your MPS regarding your Merchant Account and adding accepted card types to it and any associated fees.
