Obtain Your Pay With Cause API Credentials
There are two ways to obtain your Pay With Cause API Credentials (i.e., Login ID and Transaction Key) for integration.
- Option 1: Provided by Your Account Manager - Your Pay With Cause Login ID and Transaction Key are usually created during setup and sent directly to you by your Account Manager. If you have not received them, please contact your Pay With Cause Account Manager.
- Option 2: Retrieve Them from Your Authorize.Net Portal. If you prefer to retrieve your credentials yourself, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Authorize.Net Merchant Interface
- Click Account in the main navigation
- Under Security Settings, select API Credentials & Keys
- API Login ID (displayed on screen)
- New Transaction Key or New Signature Key, depending on your integration
- Optional) Check Disable Old Transaction/Signature Key immediately if you are replacing an older key
- Click Submit
- Verify using your account PIN
- Copy and securely store the new key (it won’t be displayed again)
Note: Your API Login ID is always visible on the API Credentials & Keys page.
- Transaction/Signature Keys must be generated manually.
- Be sure to store these keys securely and avoid sharing them publicly.
Setup & Connecting
OwnerRez connects with Pay With Cause via the "API Credentials" model, the same as most of the processor and gateway options we integrate with. Like the other processors and gateways, you'll need to start your Pay With Cause merchant application or log in to your Pay With Cause account, find the API credentials, and copy them into OwnerRez in order to complete the integration.
Navigate to Settings > Financial > Payment Methods > + Connect a Payment Method > Integrated Partners > Connect Pay With Cause.
If you haven't done so yet, start your Pay With Cause merchant application by clicking on the link on the Pay With Cause Payment Method.
Once you've clicked to connect the Pay With Cause payment method in OwnerRez, you will notice that we ask you for a set of two fields, called "API Credentials", at the top of the page:
- Login ID
- Transaction Key
If you already have a Pay With Cause account, enter your Login ID and Transaction Key that Pay With Cause provided to you.
After entering your Login ID and Transaction Key, test your API Credentials.
Select your Accepted Card Types, enter your credit card Statement Text, select which Properties you want Pay With Cause to use, and Save.

Testing
After entering the Login ID and Transaction Key in OwnerRez, verify your credentials using the Test API Credentials button.
Click 'Run Test' to confirm the test. This sends a request to Pay With Cause with your API credentials. OwnerRez checks Pay With Cause's response to see if it looks right. If the test succeeded, you will see a confirmation.
To test your integration, do a test transaction with a real credit card. Create a manual booking, collect a small payment (around $5), then void the payment using the Void & Delete option, and cancel or delete the booking. This confirms everything works correctly.
