Does Authorize.Net Work in China?

What is Authorize.Net?

Authorize.Net is a payment gateway service that enables businesses to process online transactions securely. It supports credit card payments, e-checks, digital wallets, and recurring billing, making it a popular choice for e-commerce and subscription-based businesses. The platform integrates with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and other major e-commerce solutions.

Is Authorize.Net Available in China?

Authorize.Net primarily operates on a U.S.-centric payment infrastructure and does not support Chinese payment systems such as Alipay, WeChat Pay, or UnionPay. Due to restrictions from The Great Firewall of China, users in China may experience slow or failed payment processing, transaction declines, and limited merchant support. Additionally, many international credit card networks face challenges in China, making Authorize.Net an impractical solution for local businesses.
