Generate Key

Click on the Generate Key button to generate a key. The key will be generated on the server, then you will be prompted to save it somewhere on your local computer. You should save the file to a location you can easily remember, although it's probably not a good idea to put it on your desktop.

After the key has been saved on your computer, you should make a copy of the key file in a separate location, such as a portable USB drive or CD.

Note:

For maximum security, your Merchant Key file should not be stored in a publicly accessible location, and only one employee should have access to the Merchant key. You should store the key file on a secure computer or a removable device you can keep secure. Backup copies of your key should be stored on removable devices that you can store in a secure location.

Once you have saved your Merchant Key, click on the Next button to Upload the Key.
