Secure Gateway for Authorize.net and WooCommerce by Pledged Plugins

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 94% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   This plugin worked very well for years, and the support team was very responsive the one time I needed assistance. Highly recommend!

   Mohsin from Pledged Plugins zeroed in on the issue and helped us identify what needed to be done. After two hours with a top Authorize.net support agent and a sleepy BoA agent, we ended up getting a new Merchant ID and the plugin worked like a charm. Thank you Mohsin!

   There aren’t many choices for integrating the Authorize.net payment gateway with Woocommerce, and the fact that Pledged Plugins offers a free version helped make the decision even easier; allowing us to try it out before committing to purchase which is becoming less common when it comes to a lot of Woo plugins lately. The plugin is simple and straightforward to set up, and it works well. The appearance and styling could use a little improvement & updating (especially on mobile which is over 70% of our customers), and we’re eagerly awaiting the addition of Apple Pay and Google Pay which they are currently working on, but otherwise you get exactly what you pay for at a fair price. The ability for customers to be able to store payment information via the Authorize.net CIM extension is also a big benefit that maintains PCI compliance.

   I was swayed by the comments that the support was good and all that, but it’s not like that, I had problems connecting it to my website, I sent a ticket and it’s been a week and nothing, they ask you to leave your username and password, now I wonder if all this time it was a scam :/ I would avoid this plugin at all costs and perhaps look for the legal paid version.

   We recently ran into an issue with Accept.js not loading properly due to caching optimizations, and Mohsin from the support team was incredibly helpful throughout the troubleshooting process. His guidance was spot on — after excluding just a few scripts from WP Rocket’s minification and delay settings, everything started working perfectly again. The plugin itself is reliable and integrates smoothly with our WooCommerce setup, but what really sets it apart is the responsive and knowledgeable support team behind it. Highly recommended for anyone needing a dependable Authorize.net gateway solution!
