Connect to acquirers and activate payment methods

Start by connecting a payment service provider and activating the payment methods you want to use. Once this is done, APO will be able to initiate payments with the connected acquirer.

Note: Only users with administration or operations access can set up acquirers and activate payment methods. For all other roles, this feature will remain hidden to protect sensitive information such as API keys.

Begin by completing the setup in the Sandbox environment to test and validate your configuration. After successful testing, perform the same setup again in the Live environment to ensure that payments function correctly in both testing and production.

Connect to acquirers 

You need to setup the following configurations on APO Dashboard to complete connections. Go to Payment Methods on the left panel menu and configure acquirer connection setup under Acquirement Management. For details, please refer to Acquirer management.
