  Also, is Authorize.net accepted on all plans? (Basic? Premium?)

  Hi there!

  You will need to use plugins to implement third-party payment gateways on a WordPress.com site. Plugins are allowed on WordPress.com Business plan and higher. You can learn more about our plans and pricing here: https://wordpress.com/pricing

  We have different ways of collecting payments at various plans (including the cheapest plan, WordPress.com Personal). Here are some of them:

  * Payments button
  * Pay with PayPal
  * Premium Content block
  * Donation block

  Can you take a look at them and see if any of them fit your needs? If there’s a specific reason as to why you need to use Authorize.net specifically, feel free to let us know. :)

  Thank you for this info! The client needs to use Authorize.net because of a partnership they have with FiServ.

  Thanks for clarifying! Then you would need a Business or eCommerce level plan in order to use that specific payment gateway.

  While we do help with some site setup and configuration questions, implementing a specific payment gateway would fall outside our normal scope of support. If you need that level of help, you would need to hire a developer to help with this, otherwise we also have our own service where we can build the site for you.

  I hope that helps!
