Setting up your Connection

To setup your connection to Authorize.Net and accept payments you'll need to input the following information into Civic Review under Settings > Payment.

  • API Login ID

  • Public Client Key

  • Transaction Key

Login to your Authorize.Net account to find your connection settings:

Finding your API Login ID and Transaction Key

Under the "Account" tab, click on "API Credentials & Keys":

On this screen you'll be able to view your API Login ID and generate your transaction key.

Finding your Public Client Key

Under the "Account" tab, click on "Manage Public Client Key":

Here you'll either see an existing client key you can use, or you may have to create a new public client key:


Tracking the Accounting Code (GL Code)

Using Authorize.Net presents some unique challenges when it comes to tracking payments as a batch report moves through to your accounting software.

Authorize.Net does not provide a way of saving extra data with a transaction. As such, Civic Review injects the accounting code you setup into the “Invoice Number” field, which IS saved in Authorize.Net, and is available in batch reports.

Another options is to create a separate Authorize.Net account for each GL Code. If you do this, you’ll have to utilize multiple Civic Review accounts to separate the data. Using separate Civic Review accounts for your organization does not affect billing and is actually quite normal. Talk to us for more info.
