Confirm Credit Card Type Settings
When creating a relationship with a Merchant Services Provide (MSP) to process credit card payments, the standard credit card types accepted in Visa and Mastercard. In order to accept American Express and/or Discover, you will need to work with your MSP to apply to accept these credit card types separately.
If you do not accept American Express and/or Discover, call Authorize.net at 877-447-3938 and ask them to make sure that the setting to accept these credit card types is turned off for your account. Then, if a member attempts to pay with one of those types, they will receive a message saying "The merchant does not accept this type of credit card."
If you are unsure of which types of credit card you can accept, we recommend contacting your Merchant Services Processor (MSP). If you would like to accept American Express and/or Discover, we recommend that you contact your MSP (learn more).
