Press Release Summary: FreshBooks' Invoicing and Time-Tracking Service to be
Marketed to Authorize.Net's 200,000 Merchants

Press Release Body: Toronto, ON - Dec. 20, 2007 -- FreshBooks today announced that
it has been selected by Authorize.Net, a CyberSource solution (NASDAQ: CYBS), for
inclusion in its Merchant Toolbox.

Over 200,000 merchants use the Authorize.Net service to accept credit card and
electronic check payments via Web sites, retail stores, mail order/telephone order
(MOTO) call centers and on wireless devices. Authorize.Net launched its Merchant
Toolbox in February 2007 with a goal of providing merchants with tools to help them
run every facet of their business more effectively.

FreshBooks offers a painless online invoicing and time-tracking service designed to
make Authorize.Net merchants look as professional as Fortune 500 companies. It
changes the way businesses manage their books, saving them time, improving their
cash flow, enhancing client communications, and streamlining their business
processes. As part of the toolbox, Authorize.Net merchants save up to $12 on any
monthly package.

Before FreshBooks, merchants would have to wait until the end of the month to do
their billing, using a combination of complicated spreadsheets or software-based
accounting software. Using FreshBooks, the same businesses bill their clients as
they complete projects - allowing them to get paid faster, and ultimately save time
and money. Merchants can send invoices by email or the U.S. Postal Service, and
automatically debit their clients' credit cards using recurring billing with
Authorize.Net.
"Products that make our merchants more efficient and productive are the types of
solutions we offer in our Merchant Toolbox," stated Authorize.Net President Roy
Banks. "We selected FreshBooks for the Merchant Toolbox because we recognized the
unique value their service provides. From generating accurate and detailed invoices
to potentially getting paid faster, merchants using FreshBooks are sure to see
immediate benefits and value."
"Authorize.Net is one of the largest and most respected payment gateways in the
U.S.," said Michael McDerment, CEO of FreshBooks. "We provide a real-world solution
with bottom-line benefits that help merchants simplify and improve their invoicing
process, make more money, shorten the time for payments, and most importantly,
improve the experience for the ultimate end user."
