This article will walk you through adding your NMI gateway.
Go to Gateways | Gateway Integrations and select the NMI tile.

processorId is only needed if there are multiple mids on the same gateway. This can be used so the CRM knows which mid to send the transaction to within the gateway.
publicKey enables NMI native 3DS processing. Leave this blank if not using 3DS or if using a third-party for 3DS (such as PAAY). Native 3DS processing requires proper handling on pages. See here for instructions.
Enable useRebillTxnId to use the initial transaction’s txnId to validate the rebills. With this disabled, the CRM will default to attempt to use the externalToken (rebill token) tied to that customer.
disableOrderDescription will prevent sending NMI a description of the order. If unchecked, the order product names are concatenated together and sent to NMI as the order description.
Enable RequiresExpressConsent if the mid is subject to the Express Consent guidelines mandated by Visa and MasterCard.
Enable sendDescriptor to send NMI the Gateway Descriptor assigned to the profile.
Enable disablePhone & disableEmail if you would like to not send either phone numbers or email addresses from consumers to NMI.
Enable digitalProductsOnly to send “digital” to NMI as merchant defined field 18.
Enable doNotSend3DS to not send 3DS parameters. This is most likely used on a cascade.
Enable zeroAuth to authenticate a card for zero amount. This could be a good alternative to a validate card trial. Do verify with NMI that your accounts supports this.
Special characters on the username or password may result in authentication errors.
