Visa has spent decades investing in the creation of one of the most robust, secure and reliable electronic payments networks in the world: VisaNet. Until now, however, the ability to connect to the network has been limited. We recognize that innovative ideas come from many people and places, and that independent developers have transformed many other industries.
This is why we’re excited to announce today that Visa is accelerating innovation in electronic payments by opening its leading payments network to independent developers with a significant enhancement to the Authorize.Net Developer Center.
An enhanced Authorize.Net Developer Center provides a complete platform, tools and community for independent developers, and is built on the existing solution platform from Authorize.net, which Visa acquired as part of the purchase of CyberSource earlier this year. The combination of developer ideas and Developer Center tools will result in the rapid development of innovations that will improve the payment experience for cardholders and deliver more efficiency and profitability for developers, merchants and financial institutions.
While embracing independent development, Visa also maintains an unwavering commitment to maintain the integrity of its core network and data centers – innovation you never expected combined with the security and reliability Visa users always expect.
The Authorize.Net Developer Center is free to all developers. It is located at http://developer.authorize.net. A brief registration is required to participate in the community forums.
