Setting up the Authorize.net payment processor credentials

updated

In order to use the Authorize.net payment processor, you will need input credentials into Soapbox that will be provided in your Authorize.net account.

To obtain the proper credentials, follow these instructions from Authorize.net for obtaining an API Login ID and Transaction Key.

How you enter these credentials in Soapbox is determined by the version of the Soapbox administrator your site has: Soapbox Lightning, Soapbox Engage Classic, or Soapbox CMS Classic.

  • Contextual menu with App Launcher waffle to the left of the navigation
  • White and blue color scheme with penguin avatar in upper right
  • Soapbox Engage User Account module at the top of the right column of the home page
