What Is Rocket Genius Gravity Forms Authorize.net Addon?
Rocket Genius Gravity Forms Authorize.net Addon is developed by Gravity Forms and is a payments plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the payments category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for ecommerce and donation management.
This extension enables website owners to capture credit card payments and additional user data during form submission. It is designed for businesses that require high-security standards and want to maintain a consistent brand experience by keeping users on their own domain during checkout.
Rocket Genius Gravity Forms Authorize.net Addon Features
The feature set is built around secure data handling and flexible billing cycles for professional service providers.
One-Time and Recurring Payments
Authorize.net Addon offers the ability to set up simple products for immediate purchase or complex subscription models. It integrates with Authorize.Net Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) to manage subscriptions with flexible intervals and durations. This is ideal for membership sites requiring automated monthly or annual billing.
Conditional Logic Integration
The plugin utilizes the core logic of Gravity Forms to control when a payment is processed. You can configure forms to create WordPress posts or register users only after a payment is successfully approved and captured. This ensures that premium content or accounts are only accessible to paying customers.
ACH and eCheck Support
Advanced versions of the plugin support ACH payments, allowing customers to pay using personal or business checks. This functionality requires the mapping of specific check fields to the Authorize.Net gateway. It provides a lower-fee alternative for high-ticket transactions compared to standard credit card processing.
Pricing
Check current pricing on the Authorize.net Addon sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan. The addon is typically bundled within the Elite License for Gravity Forms.
| Plan | Price | Sites | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elite License | $259/year | Unlimited | All Addons |
| WPExclusive Membership | From $9.99/month | Unlimited | Authorize.net Addon + full library |
