Payment Method Setup: Authorize.net (Merchant Account) – Sonido Software

The SensePass integration offers an integration with Authorize.net for processing payments (USA and Canada).

CREATE AN AUTHORIZE.NET MERCHANT ACCOUNT

If you do not have an Authorize.net merchant account, you can create one through Authorize.net directly or by working with the SensePass team. To get started, reach out to Operations@SensePass.com and they will submit the initial request.

Once your application for the Authorize.net merchant account is submitted, the SensePass team will process the request and you will be notified once your account has been approved and activated. This approval time may take some time, and you can reach out to SensePass to check on the status at any time.

CONNECT AUTHORIZE.NET WITH SONIDO (SensePass Integration)

Once your Authorize.net account has been approved and created, log in to the Authorize.net Merchant Portal (your account) with your Authorize.net account credentials. The following steps will walk you through how to collect the necessary integration keys for connecting Authorize.net and Sonido.

1. Click on the “Account” link in the mail toolbar.

2. In the "Security Settings" section, select "API Credentials & Keys".

3. Select "New Transaction Key", then select "Submit" to continue.

4. Request and enter your PIN for verification.

5. Your new Transaction Key should be displayed. Copy this key.

6. Once you have the API key, you will return to your Sonido Software account and navigate to the "Integrations" section within the "Settings" in the main menu. In the "SensePass Integration" section, select the "Payment Methods" tab and click on the "+" icon that is displayed in the same row as the Authorize.net payment method. You will paste the copied "Transaction Key" from Authorize.net as the "New Password" field in the SensePass integration settings.

7. Go back to Authorize.net and copy the provided "API Login ID" next. Return to your Sonido Software account and paste the copied "API Login ID" as the "New User Name" field in the SensePass integration settings.

8. In Authorize.net, you will also need to navigate to the Merchant Profile page. From this page, you should see the "Payment Gateway ID". Copy this ID as well.

9. Return to your Sonido Software account and paste the copied "Payment Gateway ID" as the "New Merchant Gateway ID" field in the SensePass integration settings.

10. Lastly, you have the option to enable additional payment options via Authorize.net, such as ACH, Apple Pay, and Google Pay (these will make payment via credit card payment or bank transfer from the appropriate client accounts). To enable these options, select the appropriate checkboxes within this dialog.

From this point forward, your Sonido invoices will show Authorize.net as a valid payment method (Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank ACH - all depending on which options you have enabled). It's all set up and ready for use by your clients!
