To integrate your Authorize.net Gateway with Chargezoom, you'll need to follow the instructions provided to retrieve your API LoginID and Transaction Key from Authorize.net. Here's a step-by-step guide to ensure you get the necessary information:

Steps to Acquire API LoginID and Transaction Key:

  1. Login to your Authorize.net Merchant Account:

  2. Select "Account" at the Top of the Page:

    • Once logged in, locate the "Account" option in the top navigation menu and click it.



3.  Select "Settings" from the Left Panel:

  • On the left side of the page, you will see various settings. Click on Settings to proceed to the next section.



4. Go to "API Credentials & Keys" under "Security Settings":

  • Scroll down to find the Security Settings section. Here, you will see the option for API Credentials & Keys. Click on it.



5. Record Your API LoginID:

  • On the API Credentials & Keys page, locate your API LoginID. This will be visible under the "API Login ID" section. Be sure to copy and securely store this LoginID.


6. Create a New Transaction Key (If Prompted):

  • If you do not already have a Transaction Key or if you're prompted to create a new one, you will need to generate a new key.
    • Choose the "New Transaction Key" option.
    • Enter your Secret Answer when prompted.
    • A new Transaction Key will be displayed.



7. Record Your Transaction Key:

  • Make sure to record the new Transaction Key as it is shown on the next page. It is important to save both your API LoginID and Transaction Key, as you will need these to configure the Authorize.net Gateway in Chargezoom.




Once you have both the API LoginID and Transaction Key, you can proceed to add the Authorize.net Gateway to your Chargezoom account. 


1. Login to Chargezoom Account:

  • Log into your Chargezoom.com account.



2. Navigate to Integrations:

  • In the Chargezoom dashboard, find and click the "Integrations" drop-down menu.
  • From the list, select "Merchant Gateway".


3. Add New Gateway:

  • On the "Merchant Gateway" page, locate the "Add New" button in the top right corner and click it.


Note: Be sure to specify whether this Gateway will be added for either "Credit Card" or Electronic Check."


4. Complete Gateway Setup:

  • A pop-up window will appear. In the "Gateway Type" field, select "Authorize.net" from the options.
  • Complete the required fields with your Authorize.net Merchant account information (e.g., API Login ID, Transaction Key, etc.).



After completing these steps, your Authorize.net gateway will be successfully added to your Chargezoom account.
