Note: Upon termination of an Authorize.Net Payment Gateway account, Authorize.Net discontinues providing its services to the merchant. Authorize.Net's services include providing transaction processing services as well as Payment Gateway account management via the Merchant Interface. As a result, merchants that have an inactive Authorize.Net account are prohibited from accessing their transaction history.

If you would like to access your transaction history, you may do one of the following:

• Reactivate your account (which is subject to a $25 reactivation fee). In some cases, merchants for whom an account was terminated by Authorize.Net may not be eligible for account reactivation.


• You may contact your Merchant Service Provider.
