MINIBC Support
  • Updated

The below is a general guide for each gateway available within MINIBC. The instructions below assume you’re logged into both your gateway with the proper permission and your BigCommerce account with access to the MINIBC application.

Setup - Authorize.net 
Setup - Braintree by PayPal
Setup - Stripe
Setup - NMI
Setup - USAePay


If you don’t see the gateway you require assistance with please contact our support team or your Project Manager.

Setup - Authorize.net 

For MINIBC to work with Authorize.net, we require that the Customer information Manager (CIM) feature be enabled. To setup the gateway within MINIBC the following fields are required:

API Login ID
Transaction Key
Public Client Key
Account ID
Signature Key

Locating Items:

  • API Login ID: This can be found under Account -> API Credentials & Keys. 

  • Transaction Key: This can be found under Account -> API Credentials & Keys. Note that if you have an existing key for an in-use store, it is recommended to continue using that key as you risk deactivating the existing key and causing issues with that store.

  • Public Client Key: This can be found under Account -> Manage Public Client Key. 

  • Account ID: This can be found under your Profile, under the Accounts title. You'll see a value that begins with acct_ and that is the value you need to place in this field.

  • Signing Key: This can be found under Account -> API Credentials & Keys. Note that if you have an existing key for an in-use store, it is recommended to continue using that key as you risk deactivating the existing key and causing issues with that store.

After all items have been located and added to MINIBC (and BigCommerce where needed) you can reach out to our support team or your Project Manager to move forward.
