Description: This article will cover the process of creating a new token through the Lighthouse Transaction Manager (LTM).

---

1. Log in to Lighthouse Transaction Manager (LTM) as an Administrator.
2. From the menu located at the top of the screen, select Settings, then select API Settings. The API Settings page will be displayed.
3. Select +Add API on the right side of the screen.
4. On the page that pops up, fill out the information as shown below by using the drop-downs.
   Select the needed vendor within the Vendor list. This is the provider/developer of the interface you use to process sales.
   Note: Any entry marked with an asterisk (*) is a required field.
   Note: Once the vendor has been selected, a list of their products will be displayed in the Application drop-down. The Applications list is dependent on the Vendor selected.
5. If you will be generating multiple Access Tokens for this merchant, use the Description box to enter a unique description for the Access Token that will be easy to identify later.
6. After having made your Vendor and Application selections, you will need to select which revenue center is going to be using this interface to process under the Merchant selection.
7. Additional settings (as applicable):
   1. API Type: A common setting is: “Standard (dual purpose, API & i4Go)”.
   2. API Rules: These allow you to choose whether this "key" can be used for post-sales or refunds.
   3. Permitted IP Addresses [Optional]: This is a way to restrict which IPs are able to process using this “key.” It is an added feature to lock down processing terminals further if wanted.
8. Auth Token Expires: If the "Auth Token" is not used to exchange for an access token within this time frame, the auth token will expire, preventing it from being exchanged. This does not apply to tokens that have been exchanged for an access token.
   
   Note: Once all information has been entered, click Submit. 
9. On the page that pops up, verify the information entered is correct.
10. Select Submit to complete the create API process.
