  </Step>

  <Step title="Processor IDs for Multi-MID Routing">
    If your NMI account has multiple MIDs:

    * Each MID will have a unique **Processor ID**.
    * Record the Processor IDs, we will need them to route specific transactions from Paysight to the correct MID.
    * If you don't set a Processor ID, transactions will go to the default MID.

    You can check the Processor IDs navigating to:

    1. `Options` > `Settings` > `Transaction Routing`
    2. You can check the Processor IDs and it's configurations, it's important to include that ID for MID boarding.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Provide Details to Paysight">
    * The API will be used for MID boarding. Ensure that the details inputted at onboarding form is correct.
    * If there are multiple MID accounts, put the Processor ID under notes on the form.
    * Your Paysight Account Manager will onboard that MID and do a test transaction.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Troubleshooting & FAQs

* **How do I route to a specific MID?**\
  Provide the correct Processor ID in Paysight setup. If omitted, payments will use your default MID.

* **What if my test payment fails?**\
  Double check your API Key, permissions, and Processor ID. Make sure your key is active and assigned to the intended account.

* **More Help:**\
  Contact your Paysight Account Manager or visit the support section in your Paysight Dashboard.
