# Gateway Emulators

## Overview <a href="#authorize.net-aim" id="authorize.net-aim"></a>

Sola gateway emulators translate third-party payment gateway APIs into the Cardknox/Sola gateway API. This allows transactions to be routed through the existing gateway to Sola without having to build a full integration using the Sola API.

Sola offers gateway emulators for Authorize.Net and USAePay.

To use gateway emulators, you will need to enter in your Sola key and change the gateway URL to Sola's gateway emulator URL.

## [Authorize.net](http://authorize.net/) (AIM) <a href="#authorize.net-aim" id="authorize.net-aim"></a>

Endpoint URL: <https://x1.cardknox.com/authorize>

Use your Sola key as the login ID and transaction key.

API Login ID: First half of Sola key

Transaction Key: Second half of Sola key

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that we only emulate the AIM method.
