GoHighLevel White Label Payment Provider Setup
This step-by-step guide shows you how to configure a white label payment provider for NMI and Authorize.net inside GoHighLevel. If you are moving from tools like ClickUp or other CRMs and want to process payments under your own brand, follow the instructions below carefully to ensure your gateway is connected and functioning correctly.
The process centers on creating a single, secure connection between your processing gateway and your GoHighLevel white label account, then mapping that connection to your sub-accounts or clients.
What Is the GoHighLevel White Label Payment Provider?
The white label payment provider feature in GoHighLevel lets you connect a single gateway and then resell or provide payment processing to your own clients inside your agency accounts. Instead of having each sub-account connect its own NMI or Authorize.net account, you manage it once and distribute access.
This white label connection is ideal for agencies that want to offer an all-in-one solution while maintaining control over billing and transaction fees.
- Centralized control of payment processing
- Use your own NMI or Authorize.net account
- Provide a seamless, branded experience inside GoHighLevel
Requirements Before You Start in GoHighLevel
Before configuring your white label provider in GoHighLevel, you must have the following items ready:
- An active NMI or Authorize.net merchant account
- Administrator access to your gateway dashboard
- Access to your GoHighLevel agency-level settings
- API credentials from your payment provider
If you do not yet have your gateway API details, log in to your NMI or Authorize.net account first and obtain your keys before proceeding.
How to Connect NMI to GoHighLevel White Label
The first option is to use NMI as the main gateway that will power your GoHighLevel white label payment provider. The exact labels and fields may differ slightly on your account, but the overall flow remains the same.
Step 1: Gather NMI Credentials
- Log in to your NMI merchant portal.
- Navigate to the section where API or security keys are managed.
- Locate your API Username and API Password or equivalent credentials.
- Keep this information secure and accessible while you work in GoHighLevel.
These credentials are what allow GoHighLevel to send secure payment requests to your NMI account.
Step 2: Open GoHighLevel Agency Settings
- Sign in to your GoHighLevel agency account.
- Go to the main left-hand navigation and open Settings.
- From the settings menu, choose the section related to Payments or Payment Providers at the agency level.
This is different from the payment settings found inside an individual sub-account. Make sure you are editing the white label provider, not a single location.
Step 3: Add NMI as a White Label Provider
- Inside the agency payment section, locate the option to add or configure the white label payment provider.
- Select NMI as the provider type if a list of gateways is shown.
- Enter the NMI API credentials you collected earlier into the corresponding fields.
- Save the configuration to connect NMI with GoHighLevel.
Once saved, GoHighLevel will attempt to validate the connection. If there is an error, double-check your NMI username, password, and any IP restrictions on the gateway account.
Step 4: Map NMI to Sub-Accounts in GoHighLevel
After a successful NMI connection at the agency level, you can link this white label provider to your sub-accounts.
- Remain in the agency view in GoHighLevel.
- Open the list of Sub-Accounts or Locations.
- Select a specific sub-account that should use the white label gateway.
- Within that sub-account’s payment settings, choose the newly created white label provider as the active gateway.
- Save your changes.
Repeat these steps for each sub-account that should process payments through your NMI white label connection.
How to Connect Authorize.net to GoHighLevel White Label
You can also use Authorize.net as the primary gateway behind your GoHighLevel white label solution. The process is similar to NMI but uses different credentials and endpoints.
Step 1: Retrieve Authorize.net API Credentials
- Log in to your Authorize.net merchant dashboard.
- Go to the Account or Settings area where API keys are stored.
- Locate your API Login ID and Transaction Key.
- If needed, generate a new Transaction Key following Authorize.net security prompts.
Store these values safely, as they will be entered into GoHighLevel to authenticate requests.
Step 2: Configure Authorize.net in GoHighLevel
- Sign in to your GoHighLevel agency dashboard.
- Open Settings and go to the agency-level payment or white label provider section.
- Choose Authorize.net as the provider when prompted.
- Enter the API Login ID and Transaction Key from your Authorize.net account.
- Confirm additional fields if required, such as mode (live or sandbox).
- Save to create the connection.
GoHighLevel will test the integration. If validation fails, confirm that your Authorize.net account is active, and that you copied the credentials correctly.
Step 3: Assign Authorize.net White Label to Sub-Accounts
Once your Authorize.net white label provider is active, link it to the GoHighLevel sub-accounts that should use it.
- From the agency view, open your list of sub-accounts.
- Choose a sub-account that will process payments using Authorize.net.
- Enter that sub-account’s payment settings.
- Select the white label Authorize.net provider as the gateway.
- Save to apply the configuration.
Each sub-account can now accept payments routed through your centralized Authorize.net white label gateway.
Testing Your White Label Payments in GoHighLevel
Before rolling out to all your clients, verify that the white label provider works correctly in GoHighLevel.
- Create a small test product or invoice.
- Use a test customer profile or your own details.
- Run a low-value live transaction if your gateway supports it.
- Confirm that the payment appears correctly inside NMI or Authorize.net.
- Check that the transaction is visible in GoHighLevel payment reports.
If you encounter issues, review your gateway logs and compare them with your GoHighLevel configuration to locate mismatched credentials or blocked requests.
Managing Clients Under Your GoHighLevel White Label Provider
After successful testing, you can start onboarding clients to your white label payment solution inside GoHighLevel.
- Decide which sub-accounts will use NMI or Authorize.net.
- Document any fees or revenue share model you apply.
- Provide basic payment training to your team or clients.
- Monitor the first few weeks of transactions closely for anomalies.
Because everything is centralized at the agency level, you keep full visibility into payment volume and can make adjustments as needed.
