The FluidPay payment gateway: a high-risk software spotlight –
At Tasker Payment Gateways, we help high-risk business owners with high-risk friendly payment gateways, merchant account recommendations, and software tips. Recently, a CBD site owner got in touch with us to ask about the FluidPay gateway. In order to help as many of you as possible, we decided to create a brief overview of FluidPay and just as importantly, the high-risk friendly carts it can be integrated with.
Right off the bat, we can see that FluidPay offers plenty of useful features and is compatible with a wide range of great shopping carts and platforms. The best news? You can use FluidPay to process credit cards on your online CBD, vape, or pipes and glassware store. As it’s compatible with so many different site builders and shopping carts, we’ll divide the integration types into three categories: emulator compatibility, direct integration, and plugins.
If you’re ready to discuss whether FluidPay is the gateway for you and your high-risk e-commerce business, please contact us here. We’re more than happy to give you some expert advice and help you start accepting high-risk payments. We can also recommend the platforms, carts, and merchant accounts that will suit you best.

The platforms that have a FluidPay plugin
FluidPay integrates smoothly with Magento 2 through a simple plugin. Additionally, when you use FluidPay for Magento, you can also use an Authorize.Net AIM emulator.
FluidPay software and shopping cart emulator compatibilities
You can use a FluidPay AIM emulator in order to combine various software and platforms. One popular solution is the e-commerce software provider, CS-Cart. It supports the Authorize.Net AIM, allowing you to use CS-Cart and FluidPay together. You can find the post URLs located in the app/payments/authorizenet_aim.php on line 143.
Similarly, you can use a free, out of the box, direct Authorize.Net AIM integration with Zen Cart. The URL’s are all located in zen-cart-v1.5.6a-01042019/includes/modules/payment/authorizenet_aim.php on lines 635 and 636
In the same vein, you can also use the free, open-source e-commerce solution Cubecart with FluidPay by using an emulator. You can download Cubecart here, and download Auth.Net AIM and SIM here. If you need help finding the post URLs, they’re located in Authorize/gateway.class.php. However, please note that the mode must be set to AIM, not SIM.
If you’re unsure whether Cubecart or CS-Cart is for you, don’t hesitate to contact us here. We can assess which option is best for your unique business.
