To learn more about creating and managing gateways in our Marketplace, review the Gateway user guide. For gateways not included in the Marketplace, review the steps below.

Create a gateway

Visit your Connections area to review all gateways and add new ones. When creating your gateways, select the gateway name and authentication mode (if prompted) before completing required fields. Select ☑️Sandbox to create a gateway in Sandbox mode, for processing test card data and transactions in your Spreedly environment.

Enter your secret_key to create a Shift4 V2 gateway. Note, if you are using an older version of Shift4, you will need to supply an Auth token and client GUID instead.

Stored credentials

For Shift4 gateway, sending stored credential fields can be done using Spreedly’s first class support. Sending stored credential data is simple. For any Authorize, Purchase, or Verify request, you need to include these fields which tell Spreedly a little bit more about the nature of the transaction:

  • stored_credential_initiator
  • stored_credential_reason_type

Gateway specific fields

When interacting with a Shift4 gateway to run transactions, there are many gateway specific fields you can specify when making a call:

customer_id: Optional - an ID that identifies the customer in the gateway
