If your Acumatica deployment still relies on the classic Authorize.Net integration, you need a migration plan — and CPay makes it seamless.
Authorize.Net has announced the deprecation of its Classic API and older payment gateway integrations. For businesses running Acumatica ERP with the native Authorize.Net connector, this is more than a minor update — it is a forced migration that, if left unaddressed, will break payment processing entirely.
This is not a distant future problem. The sunsetting of Classic integrations is already underway, and organizations that delay the transition risk payment failures at the worst possible time — during invoicing cycles, month-end closes, or customer payments.
Authorize.Net is deprecating support for its older AIM (Advanced Integration Method) and SIM (Server Integration Method) APIs in favor of the newer Accept.js and API 2.0 standards. These older methods underpin many out-of-the-box ERP payment integrations, including legacy Acumatica connectors.
The impact for Acumatica users specifically includes:
Acumatica's built-in payment gateway framework is designed for basics. It handles authorization and capture but offers limited support for advanced scenarios such as stored payment methods per customer, multi-currency processing, level 2/3 card data, and real-time surcharging rules.
When a gateway like Authorize.Net updates its API, ERP vendors typically need months to certify and release an updated connector. During that window, your business is exposed. More fundamentally, the native connector does not provide the gateway-agnostic flexibility that modern payment operations require.
"The rule of thumb: if your payment processing is tightly coupled to a single gateway built into your ERP, you are one deprecation notice away from a critical outage."
CPay is Contrivya's purpose-built payment add-on for Acumatica ERP. Rather than depending on a single gateway's native connector, CPay provides a gateway-agnostic payment layer that sits natively inside Acumatica's AR, Sales Order, and Payment modules.
When Authorize.Net Classic is deprecated, CPay users switch gateways from within Acumatica's configuration screen — no code changes, no ERP upgrade, no downtime. The following capabilities ensure business continuity:
Switch between Authorize.Net, Stripe, Braintree, and others without touching your ERP configuration or workflow.
Securely vault customer cards on file and charge them directly from AR invoices or scheduled billing runs.
Auto-pay schedules and subscription invoicing remain intact during and after gateway migrations.
Card data never touches your Acumatica server. CPay uses gateway-level tokenization to maintain full PCI scope reduction.
The typical migration for an existing Acumatica customer takes between one and three business days, depending on the volume of stored customer payment profiles that need to be re-tokenized in the new gateway. Contrivya's implementation team handles the full process:
CPay is ideal for Acumatica customers who:
