Authorize.Net is a well-respected, international Payment Gateway with a many features and benefits. Authorize.Net allows you to accept donations directly on your website easily and seamlessly.

In order to accept payments with Authorize.Net using Give Authorize net Gateway you will need to have an active Authorize.Net account, the Give Authorize net Gateway Add-on, and the Core GiveWP plugin installed and activated.

After your Authorize.Net Add-on is activated, go to “Donations > Settings” and click on the Payment Gateways tab.

There you will see the default Payment Gateways (PayPal Standard, Test Payment, and Offline Donations).

You should also see Authorize.Net as an option as well. Click on that to enable Authorize.Net as your credit card Gateway for your website.

Note: You can only use one currency per Authorize.Net account. This is a limitation of Authorize.Net and means that the Currency Switcher add-on is incompatible with Authorize.Net.

Obtaining your Authorize.Net API Keys

Once you have activated the Add-on it’s time get your API Keys and configure GiveWP to integrate with your Authorize.Net account to accept donations.

NOTE: When you first sign-up for Authorize.net, they provide you with your Transaction Key.

This item can be used immediately, but if you forget it or misplace it you will not be able to recover it easily and will instead have to delete it and generate new keys.

That means that any system including GiveWP or other web apps connected to the account will all have to be updated to use the newly-generated key.

After logging into your Authorize.Net account, you’ll be presented with your Authorize.Net Dashboard like the image above.

From here, look in the left-hand sidebar and scroll down to the Account section and click on the Settings item.

In the Settings page, look in the Security Settings and click on the link titled API Login ID and Transaction Key.

To integrate with GiveWP, you need just two pieces of information:

• API Login ID
• Transaction Key

Both of these are available on this screen. The API Login ID is clearly labeled at the top of the page. But the Transaction Key is hidden. This is why it’s important to save that after you first sign-up for Authorize.Net.

If you do not know the Transaction key, the only option is to create a new one and disconnect the old one.

You can disable the old one immediately, or choose the option to disable after 24 hours, to give yourself time to change it anywhere it is in use.

Copy Both the Transaction Key and the API Login ID to your WordPress site at Donations > Settings > Payment Gateways > Authorize.net

That’s all there is to it. Now when your donors come to your site, they’ll be able to use credit cards to donate to you directly in the currency of your country and not have to be redirected to another site.
