Integrate Zen Cart and Forte

Trexle connects Zen Cart to Forte and 100+ other payment gateways using a single plugin for one time annual fee

Forte and Zen Cart Integration Guide

To begin the integration process, merchants should contact their Forte representative who will provision their information to a sandbox account. Once provisioned, Forte sends the merchant an Account ID, Location ID, an API Access ID, and an API Secure Key for the sandbox environments. NOTE: The Location ID represents the same information as the Merchant ID in the Virtual Terminal.

For Live environment Forte’s REST services rely on Basic access authentication over HTTPS using an API Access ID and an API Secure Key as the username and password values. Forte will assign your APIAccessID and APISecureKey. 

 

Take the credentials you just obtained from Forte and navigate to Trexle dashboard, click Payments Gateways and select Forte from the drop down menu as shown below.

Fill into your Forte credential and click Add Gateway. Click the Activate button next to Forte, and it will give you a success message and the button will turn into green. You should see something like below.
