Why Connect Authorize.Net to Keap

Connecting Authorize.Net to Keap allows you to process credit card payments directly through Keap order forms, checkout pages, and payment links using your existing Authorize.Net merchant account. Once connected, all payment processing runs through Authorize.Net while the transaction data is recorded in Keap automatically. This keeps payment processing and customer records in sync without manual data entry between systems.
