- On the Configure Gateway Instance tab, select NETS from the Gateway Type drop-down list.
- Click Create Gateway.
- On the gateway settings page, specify values for the configuration fields. See below for more information on the fields.

Configuration fields
Common configuration fields
The following are the common configuration fields you must specify for all gateways. See Setting Up Payment Gateways for the general information about setting up a payment gateway and specifying the values for the common fields:
- Name: Name of this gateway instance
- Use Gateway Test Environment
- Cards Accepted
- Default Authorization Amount: The value for this field must be greater than or equal to 1.00.
- Verify new payment method (required)
The panHash token is required in the payment transactions. You must select the Verify new payment method checkbox in the configuration so that a panHash token is generated by NETS during the payment method verification. - Verify updated payment method (optional)
Specific configuration fields
In addition to the common fields, you must provide the following field values that are specific to the NETS gateway. The following fields are required.
- Merchant Id: An identifier issued when you set up your Netaxept merchant account. The merchant Id is required in every API call.
- Token: A special identifier that is used to validate the merchant in all transactions. Obtain this token from Netaxept. It is required in every API call.
- Force 3D Secure Authentication: Enforces all authorizations to require 3D Secure authentication for Payment Pages 2.0. This setting works with the Enable 3D Secure setting in the configuration page of Payment Pages 2.0 to determine the scope of 3D Secure. The following table describes the processing logic:
Force 3D Secure Authentication (in gateway configuration) Enable 3D Secure (in Payment Pages 2.0 configuration) Outcome Disabled Disabled No 3D Secure authentication for all transactions Enabled Disabled No 3D Secure authentication for all transactions Disabled Enabled The 3D Secure authentication is required only for Payment Pages 2.0.
