Bank of America Gateway Setup

Use the following steps as a guideline for completing Bank of America Gateway integration testing and moving to the production environment to go live if using our E-commerce product to code to the Bank of America Gateway:

To set up your Bank of America Gateway account

1. During your account application, an associate will assist you with registering for a Demonstration and Certification Environment (DCE) user account.  

   NOTE: The link you will receive in the registration email is time sensitive.

2. Complete the welcome call with your Merchant Activation and Training associate to discuss:
   • The integration method selected for the Bank of America Gateway and the steps required to activate, such as creating a profile or generating security keys.
   • Value-Added Services (VAS), if applicable, and where to find information about them.
   • How to use fraud management to protect your business.
3. Create a Secure Acceptance profile, if applicable. Secure Acceptance is needed if you are using Hosted Payment Page or Checkout API integrations.
4. Generate the appropriate security keys to begin the integration process.
5. Integrate your website with the Bank of America Gateway.  
   • Hosted Payments Page
   • Checkout API
   • Microform Integration
   • Card Not Present Integration Toolkit (REST API)
6. In the DCE, test the integration, including running test transactions.
7. When ready to move to production, repeat creating a Secure Acceptance profile and generating keys in the production environment accessed through your Merchant Account in online banking.  
8. Switch endpoints URLs to the production environment. See the Bank of America Gateway Integration Guide for more information. 
9. Go live!
