# Authorize.net Setup

To setup Authorize.net, you will need to create an account <http://www.authorize.net/signupnow/>

Upon account creation, you will need to enable CIM (Customer Information Manager)

CIM is an Authorize.net feature that allows you to store donor credit card information on their server. Without this option enabled, you cannot use Authorize.net as your payment gateway with HelpYouSponsor.

After you have created your account, you will receive two pieces of login information from Authorize.net

* Api Login ID
* Transaction Key

To setup the gateway with HelpYouSponsor click **"Payment Gateways"** under "**Settings**" in the main menu and click **"View integration"** on the Authorize.net card. This will open up the Authorize.net drawer with the form. Insert your keys respectively and click **"Update".**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.helpyousponsor.com/guides/getting-started/quick-start-guide/payment-gateways/authorize.net-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
