This topic describes configuring Stax Bill for credit card payment processing via Authorize.Net.

To complete the setup, you will need to log into Authorize.Net and copy the following information into the Stax Bill configuration pop-up:

  • Authorize.Net API Login ID

  • Authorize.Net Transaction Key

Tip

For more information about Authorize.Net, visit their website.

To configure your payment gateway:

  1. In Stax Bill, navigate to Settings>Collections>Gateways and click Show Other Supported Gateways.mceclip0.png

  2. Under "Credit Card," click AUTHORIZE.NET. The Stax Bill configuration pop-up appears.

  5. Under "Create New Transaction Key," select a Secret Question and provide the answer. Click Submit to create a new transaction key.

  6. Copy the Transaction Key you created and paste it into the Stax Bill configuration pop-up.

  7. If you do not want to validate cards before payments are accepted, select the Skip Validation check box. Note that without validation, the credit card can have a higher chance of failure.

  8. If you are using an Authorize.net Developer Account to test because you want to prevent transactions from processing, ensure Developer Mode is selected.

    Warning

    Stax Bill will still interpret all transactions as legitimate, so you need to refund charges made in this mode to maintain proper ledger balances in Stax Bill.

    Note

    The sample credit card numbers provided by Stax Bill may work with your gateway in Developer Mode; however, Stax Bill recommends contacting your payment processor to obtain their test numbers.

  9. Click Save.
