Setting up your own merchant account through Authorize.net

When setting up an Authorize.net account on Purplepass you’ll need a trans key and login that are provided through your account on Authorize.net.

After typing in your trans key and login you will have additional options to enter a Discount rate and Transaction fee. These are extra fees that you can add to each order to cover your merchant fees, and they will go directly to you. After entering all your information, click Save and you’re set.

NOTE: While on the "Use your own merchant account" option, please review the PDF on how to toggle your security settings within Authorize.net. These are settings are important to set, so you won't have any issues while selling through an online 3rd party such as Purplepass.
