Authorize.Net Payment Gateway. The one that started it all — and never stopped evolving.
This is the origin of our entire payment library, going back to our earliest days as a supplement company, before FxMedSupport. Practices were getting flagged “high risk” by processors and locked out of taking payment — so we gave them a way back in. It has only grown since: encrypted token storage now enables mobile app payments, too.
Locked out → restored via Authorize.Net → now mobile too
—— Why We Built It
Where the whole payment story began.
Authorize.Net is the integration that started everything — built back in our earliest days as a supplement company, before FxMedSupport carried the name it does now. The problem was painfully real: payment processors were flagging practices as “high risk” and locking them out of taking cards at all. Good practices, suddenly unable to get paid.
So we built a way back in. Authorize.Net let those practices keep accepting payment, with billing right where it belonged. And it kept evolving: encrypted token storage now enables mobile app payments too — the origin integration, still leading the library it started.
—— What It Does
A way back in, that keeps moving forward.
A way back in
When processors flag a practice as “high risk,” Authorize.Net restores its ability to take payment — the original problem we solved.
Built for high-risk realities
Functional and supplement-driven practices get flagged more than most — this integration exists precisely for that reality.
Encrypted token storage
Cards are stored as encrypted tokens — the secure foundation that made the next chapter, mobile payments, possible.
Now mobile payments too
Thanks to token storage, payments can run from the mobile app — the origin gateway, evolved for how practices work today.
The origin of the library
Every payment integration we’ve built since — Square, Fluid, Clover, PayRoc, NMI — traces back to the pattern this one set.
Billing stays in Cerbo
However a practice was flagged, payment and the patient record live together in Cerbo — the system of record underneath it all.
Where It All Began
The first integration we built — still working harder than ever.
Authorize.Net is the root of the whole payment library: born to give locked-out practices a way back in, and steadily extended since — most recently to mobile payments via encrypted token storage. The processors may flag you; this is how you keep getting paid, on the EHR you already trust.
Locked out? Here’s the way back in.
Cerbo is the best EHR in functional medicine. Always has been. Always will be.
