If you are using Braintree as your payment processor, you will need to get credentials for your account to enter into Soapbox. These can be found by logging into your Braintree account, navigating to Account > My User, and clicking on the API Keys link under Authorization.
You will need to note each of the following:
- Merchant ID
- Public Key
- Private 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.
