Connect Authorize.Net

Take cards and eCheck through your Authorize.Net gateway and merchant account - API Login ID, Transaction Key, sandbox testing and going live. No webhook needed.

Authorize.Net takes cards and eCheck through your own merchant account, in the US, Canada, UK, Europe and Australia (USD, CAD, GBP, EUR, AUD, NZD, CHF, DKK, NOK, PLN, SEK). Customers pay on Authorize.Net's secure hosted form, and Ellibo checks each payment with Authorize.Net - no webhook needed.

Before you start

• An Authorize.Net gateway account (usually set up with your merchant bank or a reseller).
• For testing, a free sandbox account at developer.authorize.net - it has its own Login ID and key.
• You must be an admin of the business in Ellibo.

Step 1: Get your API Login ID and Transaction Key

1. Sign in to the Merchant Interface (or your sandbox account).
2. Go to Account › Account and API Settings › Security Settings › API Credentials & Keys.
3. Copy the API Login ID.
4. Under Create New Key(s), choose New Transaction Key and click Submit.
5. Authorize.Net emails you a PIN. Enter it, and copy the Transaction Key that appears.

Step 2: Connect in Ellibo

1. Open Settings › Integrations › Payments.
2. On the Authorize.Net tile, click Connect.

Step 3: Try a sandbox payment

1. With sandbox keys connected, open a small invoice's Pay now link and choose Authorize.Net.
2. Pay with the test card 4111 1111 1111 1111 and any future date.
3. Check the invoice shows Paid, then cancel the test receipt.

Step 4: Go live

In Ellibo, click Keys, paste your production API Login ID and Transaction Key, set Account type to Live, and Save.

Fees, payouts and refunds

• Authorize.Net settles a batch each day; the money reaches your bank through your merchant account, usually in one or two working days. Record payouts in Accounting › Online Payments.
• Refund with the Refund button in Ellibo. A card payment can only be refunded after it has settled (usually the next day).
