Setting up an Authorize.net business account

Before your clients can pay invoices online through RB Connect, you must set up a business account with one of the accepted online payment processing services and enter your credentials in RB9. Follow these instructions to set up an Authorize.net business account and enter your credentials in RB9.

Continued from Contact – Account Activity preferences.

NOTE: Authorize.net site instructions & wording might be different

These instructions might be slightly different from the actual site, however, the concept is the same. You must set up a business account on Authorize.net and get API credentials which you then enter in RB9 before you can accept payments online.

  1. Sign up for an account on Authorize.net.
  2. Use the activation link in your Authorize.net welcome email to activate your account and sign in.
  3. At first, your account will be in test mode for you to submit test transactions to validate your payment solution can connect to your account. Work with your payment solution developer to test your connection to Authorize.net. After your connection is validated, disable Test Mode by clicking the orange banner at the top of the Authorize.net Merchant Interface.
  4. After you have validated your connection and are ready to accept payments, click Account in the Merchant Interface, then click Settings.
  5. Under General Security Settings, click API Credentials & Keys.
  6. Under Create New Key(s), click New Transaction Key.
  7. Click Submit.
  8. When prompted, request and enter a validation PIN. Your API Login ID and Transaction Key appear.
  9. In RB9, go to Connect Preferences > Contact – Account Activity and click Edit.
  10. Add your API credentials to the Online Payment pane:
  11. Click Save.
