How Does NMI Credit Card Processing Work?
NMI operates like a digital courier. It securely stores and moves information from the cardholder to the merchant’s bank through the HTTPS protocol. It transmits privileged information in a tokenized fashion, and enables real-time payments online, in-person, and over the phone, while assessing a small fee for each transaction.
Your Preferred Payment Gateway Service Provider
In order to use a payment gateway, you must first get a merchant account. Once you’ve obtained your merchant account, you are ready to create an account with NMI. This can be handled by your payment processor or merchant service provider who will also facilitate the integration.
Please note: NMI will not work without a merchant account.Learn more about why you need a merchant account and what role it plays in accepting payments.

You can access NMI gateway APIs directly from NMI’s website .
AVS stands for Address Verification Service. If you’ve received error code: AVS rejected, your processor was unable to verify the cardholder’s details. It is likely the cardholder’s address or zip code does not match the address/zip code the cardholder supplied.
When you first integrate your gateway, it is offline by default–this is essentially a ‘test mode.’ To go live, confirm the MID details and associated bank account on file. Then, after logging into your merchant gateway account, go to options > ‘Settings’ > ‘Transaction Options’> ‘Test Mode.’ To disable test mode, click on the button that says, ‘Disable Test Mode.’
You should not be charged an NMI gateway fee if you’re using Authorize.net. You should be using one or the other. It’s most likely you were set up with a new account and did not cancel the old account. Be sure to log in to your NMI gateway to view your transaction report log and see if it is integrated with your merchant account.
