      How to Manually Bookmark SSO Login URLs

      When using Single Sign-On (SSO) to access PaymentWorks, bookmarking login pages can be a little tricky due to how SSO redirects work. This article explains how to properly bookmark your Sandbox and Production SSO login URLs in Chrome. We'll also share direct links and when to use alternate login pages.

      Which URLs to Bookmark

      1. Make sure you’re bookmarking the correct SSO login URLs — not the page you land on after logging in.

      • Sandbox SSO Login URL:
        https://sandbox.paymentworks.com/login/saml/?idp=

      • Production SSO Login URL:
        https://www.paymentworks.com/login/saml/?idp=

      IMPORTANT:  These are example links. They will not work for SSO access to your environment.
      Contact your organization’s PaymentWorks system administrator to get your specific SSO login URL.

      These are the URLs you should bookmark if you're logging in using SSO. URLs after login may change and won't always work if bookmarked.

      2. Create a Bookmark Using Chrome’s Bookmark Manager

      Note: The steps below reference Chrome. Firefox and Safari offer similar options, but UI terms may vary.

      1. At the top of your Chrome window, click Bookmarks > Bookmark Manager.

      2. In the Bookmark Manager, click the ellipsis (⋮) at the far right of the search bar.

      3. Select Add new bookmark.

      4. In the popup:

        • Enter a Name for the bookmark (e.g., "PaymentWorks Sandbox SSO").

        • Paste the correct SSO URL (from step 1).

      5. Click Save.

      Alternative Login URLs (Non-SSO)

      If you don’t use SSO, you may need the regular (non-SSO) login URLs. These are typically used by vendors or internal PaymentWorks employees. Do not use these if you are SSO provisioned.

      • Sandbox Non-SSO Login URL:
        https://sandbox.paymentworks.com/df/accounts/login/

      • Production Non-SSO Login URL:
        https://www.paymentworks.com/df/accounts/login/

      Important Notes

      • Why default bookmarking fails: The metadata configuration for SSO causes URL changes during login, so default bookmarks may break.

      • Always manually create bookmarks for the SSO login URLs to ensure consistent access.
