Visa - Cybersource Developer Center 

Visa acquired both Authorize.net and CyberSource. Authorize.com is the small business focused merchant processing platform and has a lot of competition. CyberSource services the largest global merchants and has a lot less competition.

 

The decision to merge customers onto the CyberSource platform and retire the Authorize.net platform was made and customers were migrated to the CYBS platform and any new customers onboarded to the CyberSource payments, acceptance and security platform.

 

Goal

 

Improve the user experience for developers who are setting up merchants to use Cybersource's Merchant Processing and payment acceptance services.
