If you are integrating the Authorize.Net gateway into your website or software, it will most likely be asking you for an API Login ID and Transaction Key. The following steps will walk you through how to obtain these unique identifiers. To start, please click the "Account" link.

Click the "API Credentials and Keys" link under "Security Settings".

The "New Transaction Key" radio button should already be checked, if it's not, please check it and click the "Submit" button. Please Note: These steps outline obtaining the API Login and Transaction Key for the first time.

Click the "Request PIN" button, this will verify your identity by sending you a 5 digit code to your email associated with this account.

Boom! Your API Login and Transaction Key have been successfully created.

Please Note: This is important and sensitive information, please write these credentials down for safe keeping, as the Transaction Key is not stored in Authorize.Net.
