Before you begin
- We recommend creating an Authorize.Net account before setting up your payment gateway on Zoey. You can sign up here.
- If you are updating your Authorize.net Gateway URL, we explain how to do so here.
Step 1 - Add Authorize.Net to Payment Methods
In your Control Panel, hover over Set-up and select Payment.

Scroll down and select Authorize.Net. Then, click Add Payments.

When you finish, scroll to the Authorize.Net section and click Set-up.

Step 2 - Enter API Login ID and Transaction Key
From your Authorize.Net account, copy your API Login ID and Transaction Key. Then, from Set-up > Payment > Authorize.net, paste your information into the corresponding fields:

Note: Authorize.Net explains how to obtain your API information.
Step 3 - Enable and configure your Authorize.Net settings
First, from the Enabled field, select Yes.

Then configure the rest of your Authorize.Net settings. Here are a few we recommend reviewing before you finish:
- Title - Select a name for your payment gateway that appears on the frontend.

- New Order Status - Select a status for each order paid through Authorize.Net.

Step 4 - Save
When you finish, click Save.

Step 5 - Use Authorize.Net Direct Post (optional)
Authorize.Net's Direct Post is a great way to have a synchronized transaction process done securely within your store. When payments are made using the Direct Post method, the Authorize.Net gateway handles all steps in the transaction process; such as payment data collection, data submission, and response to the customer, while the customer remains in your store.
Creating this method is very similar to our standard Authorize.Net setup:
- From Set-up > Payments, scroll down to Authorize. Within the Direct Post subsection, click Set-up.
- Enter your API Login ID and Transaction Key, found in your account, per Step 2 of our guide.
- Enable and configure your Direct Post settings, per Step 3 of our guide.
- Save.
