​How To Obtain A Transaction Key

The Transaction Key is not always visible in the Merchant Interface like the API Login ID. Once you navigate away from the confirmation page there will be no other way to access the Transaction Key in the Merchant Interface. In such a case you will have to generate a new Transaction Key.

CAUTION THOUGH - If you find that you do need to generate a new transaction key, and you have any OTHER integrations into authorize.net, they will stop working after approximately 24 hours.   All integrations should be updated with the new key created.

  • Log on to the Merchant Interface at https://account.authorize.net

  • Select Settings under Account in the main menu on left

  • Click API Credentials & Keys in the Security Settings section

  • Enter your secret answer to the secret question you configured when you activated your user account (if prompted).

  • Select "New Transaction Key" if you are resetting your existing one.

  • Click Submit

Copy and Paste and keep your API Login ID & Transaction Key in a safe place, as the key cannot be retrieved if necessary, it can only be re-set.
