Administrators - Authorize.Net Setup Requirements
This article will provide instructions for administrators as to authorize.net gateway account setting requirements.
Authorize.Net Gateway Account Settings
E-COMMERCE ACCOUNTS
Processing account information includes the following fields.
- Authorize.Net API Login ID: Uniquely identifies your account to the payment gateway when transactions are submitted. This is supplied by Authorize.Net when you set up your account with them.
- Transaction Key: A 16-character randomly-generated password used with your API Login ID to authenticate your account as an authorized Authorize.Net user when transactions are submitted.
- Authorize.Net Test POST URL: The URL assigned by Authorize.Net to be used for test transactions.
- Authorize.Net Production POST URL: The URL assigned by Authorize.Net to be used for live transactions.
> NOTE: You can only configure the settings for Address Verification Service (AVS) and Credit Card Security Code (CSC) checks for Authorize.Net on their E-commerce Account Details "Merchant Interface" website, so those fields are not included on this page.
Additional notes
- NOTE: This is separate from your Login ID to Authorize.Net's "Merchant Interface", although in some cases it may be the same.
- Note also that if you change your API Login ID (which you can do by contacting Authorize.Net's customer support), you must immediately change it to the same value here as well.
