Initial configuration requires an Authorize.net account. The API Key and API Transaction Code must be provided to your Implementation Manager or to Support, who ensure these values are placed in the Portal’s configuration file.
When configuring your Authorize.net account, ensure the following items are set appropriately:
Go to Administration > Configuration Settings and update the following Configuration Settings. Remember to use the Portal Admin page for the Configuration Settings to take effect immediately.
Go to Church Structure > Congregations and ensure that the appropriate Congregation(s) have the Available Online field set to True. Note that this setting affects other pages of the Portal as well (e.g., Event Calendar).
Go to Church Structure > Programs to allow the appropriate Programs/Designations to appear online. For a Program to show in Online Giving:
To show a Program under all Congregations, it must be in your Congregation designated in the Configuration Setting COMMON,GlobalCongregationID.
The Program field "Allow Online" is no longer in use on this page.
If you have a "church-wide activities" congregation for general funds, these Programs can be automatically added to each Congregation's drop-down list. To do so, contact Support and provide the Congregation Name and ID of your church-wide Programs.
A receipt is always emailed after completion of the online giving process. Review the email, and edit it as needed on the Portal Admin page.
Ensure the list of credit cards you accept is accurate based on your Authorize.net settings. Do so on the Credit Cards Resource File.
