We are happy to announce that ChargeAutomation is integrated with FirstDataIPG!

Setting up your ChargeAutomation account with FirstDataIPG

To connect your FirstData IPG account, you will need to provide two sets of credentials: your standard login details and a secure API client certificate.

1. Account Credentials

  • Username

  • Password

2. API Client Certificate

Because connections to [https://www.ipg-online.com/ipgapi/services] require secure authentication, you must request a client certificate directly from FirstData support.

Please ask FirstData for the following:

  • The .p12 or .pfx file (this file must contain both the certificate and the private key).

  • The password associated with that certificate file.

3. Submission Instructions

Once you have these details, please email them to your Account Manager or our support team at [email protected].

Important: Use the exact subject line: [Your Company Name] FirstDataIPG Certificate

Next Steps within ChargeAutomation
