Below are the step-by-step instructions on how to integrate and start accepting payments using your Authorize.net account.
Important: Auth.net does NOT allow customer purchases via debit/prepaid cards at this time.
Important: Make sure in Authorize.net that you signup and enable the Customer Information Manager.
WARNING! Altering your Auth.net API keys after the connection with PayKickstart has been made is strongly discouraged!
After integrating with Auth.net, changing your API keys in Auth.net would prevent our system from being able to contact Auth.net to attempt rebills for any existing subscriptions before the Auth.net API key was changed.
If you change the API keys, then existing subscriptions created prior to the change will need to update their billing via the billing portal in order to connect with the new Auth.net API key and continue the subscription billings.
