How do I connect my payment gateway to our website?

2 min. readlast update: 10.19.2023

Connecting a payment gateway to your website creates a seamless way to collect payments and host the checkout process directly on your website. 

Every payment processor has a unique process for configuring their gateway to your website, which we've listed below. Your team will need to obtain this information and provide it to your account representative to establish and test the connection. Once a team member has helped connect and test the gateway, you'll be ready to host payments seamlessly on your association's website.  

If your association does not yet have a payment gateway account, please contact us with questions about the differences between these services and our recommended providers (also listed below).
