# Authorize.net

export const title_0 = "Authorize.net";

## Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Authorize.net to your Connect AI account:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open the **Sources** page of the Connect AI navigation menu.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **+ Add Connection** in the upper-right corner.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Type *Authorize.net* into the search field, then click the data source name.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    On the **Basic Settings** tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Authentication

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Enter the **Login ID**, which is the Authorize.net API login Id associated with your payment gateway account.
    <Note>This value is not the same as the login Id that you use to log in to the Merchant Interface.</Note>
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Enter the **Transaction Key**, which is the Authorize.net transaction key associated with your payment gateway account.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    (Optional) Set **Use Sandbox** if you are using a Sandbox account. The provider makes requests to the production environment by default.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    At the top of the Connect AI **Add {title_0} Connection** page, click **Save & Test**.

    * If the connection test succeeds, a **Connection successfully saved** message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The **Status** on the **Edit Connection** page also changes to **Authenticated**. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the **Edit Connection** page, in the **Data Model** tab.
    * If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. Connect AI displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the **Sign in** button. Correct the errors and try again.
    * Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a **Status** of **Not Authenticated**. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
  </Step>
</Steps>
