Payflow API User Credentials

There are four pieces of information that you need in order to set up a connection to Payflow. Those four pieces of information are partner ID, vendor ID, username, and password. This article will show you how to set up an API User so that you can provide the correct username and password to CivicPlus.  

If you already know how to set up a user, be sure to give the user, at a minimum, API_FULL_TRANSACTION privileges. See Payflow's documentation.
