Configuring API Keys in the Magento Admin Panel for Cybersource
Introduction
This article explains how to enter API key values in the Magento Admin Configuration panel for the Cybersource plug-in. It covers three key types: SOAP Toolkit API, Secure Acceptance API (Hosted Checkout or Checkout API), and REST API Shared Secret (used with Flex Microform, Decision Manager, or Account Updater).
