Credentials tab

Flectra needs your API Credentials & Keys to connect with your Authorize.Net account, which comprise:

  • API Login ID: The ID solely used to identify the account with Authorize.Net.

  • API Transaction Key

  • API Signature Key

  • API Client Key

To retrieve them, log into your Authorize.Net account, go to Account ‣ Settings ‣ Security Settings ‣ API Credentials & Keys, generate your Transaction Key and Signature Key, and paste them on the related fields in Flectra. Then, click on Generate Client Key.

Important

If you are trying Authorize.Net as a test, with a sandbox account, change the State to Test Mode. We recommend doing this on a test Flectra database, rather than on your main database.

If you set Test Mode on Flectra and use an authorize.net account instead of a sandbox.authorize.net account, it results in the following error: The merchant login ID or password is invalid or the account is inactive.
