  • The Merchant login ID is invalid or the account is inactive (Error 13)

The API Login ID or Transaction Key being submitted is invalid or the account is inactive. That may be caused by any of three possibilities:

  1. The API Login ID or Transaction Key you are using is incorrect. Make sure you are using the API Login ID or Transaction Key that you obtained from the Merchant Interface. To verify that you’re using the correct values:
  •             Log into the Merchant Interface.
  •             Click Account from the main toolbar.
  •             Under Security Settings, select API Login ID and Transaction Key (you will see this after entering your secret answer for the first time)                       
  1. You are posting to the wrong server. If you are using sandbox credentials, you must post to the sandbox URL. If you are using live credentials, you must post to the production URL.
  2. The account has been closed (generally not applicable to sandbox accounts).

  • Debug or Status log
