Obtaining Your Payment Gateway API

This article shows how to get your Payment Gateway API for the following options:

• Stripe
• Moneris
• PayPal
• Authorize.net
• Square

Stripe

Obtaining Your Stripe Test Credentials

1.  Log in to your Stripe account. 

2.  Using the side panel menu, navigate to Developers > API Keys. 

3.  Enable the Viewing Test Data option at the top of the page.

4.  Scroll down to the Standard Keys section, and click on both your Publishable and Secret Key to copy them.

5.   Send both keys to the Lambda Support team via Privnote for a secure transfer of information.

Obtaining Your Stripe Live API Keys

1.  Log in to your Stripe account.

2. Using the side panel menu, navigate to Developers > API Keys. 

3.  Ensure that the Viewing Test Data option at the top of the page is disabled.

TIP: When using Stripe, webhooks can be used to trigger notifications and corresponding reactions in your Store. Webhooks can be particularly useful for managing asynchronous events in your Store, such as using the Payments Intents API, receiving notifications of payouts, and subscriptions.  Once webhooks have been implemented, Stripe will notify the Store about any changes made within the system so that the Store can react accordingly. This can include updating a customer's record once their subscription payment is processed, or adjusting invoices before they have been paid.

To obtain a Sandbox test account: 

1.  Log in to PayPal and open Developer View. 

2.  Click Create Account.

3.  Select Personal (Buyer Account) under Account Type, and Canada from the Country/Region drop-down menu, and click Create. 

PayPal will then create a Sandbox Account, which will be listed under your Sandbox Accounts in the dashboard.

5.  Copy and store your Email ID and system-generated password.

6.  Once you are done, log out of PayPal. You can then use this account information to create a test transaction on your Lambda Store website.

When setting up your payment gateway, we require the following pieces of information: API Login ID, Transaction Key, Public Client Key, and Signature Key.
