Case Study: Aunt Laurie's achieves mission-driven growth and seamless online payments with Authorize.Net

How Helping People Drove Business Sucess

Aunt Laurie's is a gift-basket company founded by Laurie Brown that handweaves, signs, and assembles products while training and employing people with disabilities. Selling both online and offline, Aunt Laurie's needed a dependable payment solution to handle e-commerce transactions, phone/mail orders, and reporting to support its mission-driven operations — so the business integrated Authorize.Net from day one.

Authorize.Net serves as Aunt Laurie's website payment gateway and virtual terminal for offline orders, with reporting tools and planned QuickBooks synchronization to streamline accounting. By relying on Authorize.Net’s processing reliability and live-chat support, Aunt Laurie’s can efficiently manage sales, focus on training employees with disabilities, and sustain growth — achievements reflected in awards like 2017 Hilton Head–Bluffton Chamber Small Business of the Year and the 2017 SCORE National Community Impact Business award.
