Overview

Connectors are the bridge between Vaultera Switch and various payment service providers. By activating a connector, you enable your application to process payments through that specific payment gateway.

​
Steps to Activate a Connector

​
Step 1: Access the Connectors Section

  • Navigate to the Connectors section in the Vaultera Switch Control Center
  • Click the ’+ Connect’ button next to the connector you wish to activate
You can find the Connectors section in the main navigation menu of your Control Center dashboard.

​
Step 2: Profile Details

  • The Profile ID is selected automatically in the Vaultera Switch Control Center
  • To change it, use the dropdown in the top-right corner of the dashboard
Each profile can have different connector configurations. Make sure you’re working with the correct profile for your use case.

​
Step 3: Configure Connector Details

Enter the required credentials for the selected connector:
  • API Keys & Credentials: These can typically be found during sign-up or in your connector’s dashboard
  • Connector Identifier: Define a unique identifier for the connector under your business profile
  • Source Verification Key: If applicable, provide this to ensure webhook authenticity
Always keep your connector credentials secure and never share them publicly. Vaultera Switch encrypts all sensitive information.

​
Step 4: Enable Payment Methods

Select the payment methods that should be available during the demo checkout:
  • Credit/Debit Cards
  • Digital Wallets
  • Bank Transfers
  • Alternative Payment Methods

​
Step 5: Configure Webhooks (Optional)

If your selected connector supports webhooks:
  1. Copy the webhook URL from the Vaultera Switch Control Center
  2. Paste and configure it in your connector’s dashboard
  3. Test the webhook connection to ensure proper communication
Webhooks provide real-time updates about payment status changes, improving your application’s responsiveness.

​
Test Your Integration

Once the connector is set up, you can test it by initiating a demo payment:
  1. Use the Test Payment feature in the Control Center
  2. Verify that payments are processed correctly
  3. Check that webhooks (if configured) are receiving updates

​
Edit Connector Credentials

To update connector credentials, you must re-enter all required credential fields.

​
Steps to Update Credentials

​
Step 1: Access the Connectors Section

  • Navigate to the Connectors section in the Control Center
  • Here, you’ll see a list of all existing connector integrations for the selected profile

​
Step 2: Profile Details

  • The Profile ID is auto-selected
  • To switch profiles, use the dropdown in the top-right corner of the dashboard

​
Step 3: Updating the Credentials

  • Click the edit icon (📝) next to the connector’s API keys
  • A pop-up will appear where you can re-enter and save the updated credentials
When updating credentials, all existing payment processing will continue to work with the old credentials until the new ones are successfully saved and verified.

​
Best Practices

  • Regular Updates: Keep your connector credentials up to date
  • Testing: Always test your integration after making changes
  • Monitoring: Monitor your connector’s performance and success rates
  • Documentation: Keep track of your connector configurations for future reference
