Gateways connect different networks and enable them to communicate by converting data. They are essential for systems that use different formats or rules. This makes gateways ideal for integrating PayDocker into your business processes or simplifying operations. In this article, we’ll show you how to connect with the various gateways available on our platform.

On PayDocker, we have 5 different types of gateways:

1. Payment methods
2. Providers
3. Grouping
4. Routing
5. Connect

Payment methods

Payment gateways help streamline your payments to and fro PayDocker. 

Click Gateway (1) and then Payment (2) to see the full list of payment gateways available on PayDocker.

To enable the gateway connection, simply toggle the button under status. You can choose to disable this connection at anytime. 

To see details of the payment gateway, simply click the three dots

At the end of this page, you will be able to see any changes to the payment gateway.

Providers

Click Gateway (1) and then Provider (2) to see the full list of gateways available on PayDocker.

You will then see the list of all available providers and their status of connection on our platform. To view more details of each individual connection, click the three dots (1) and then Overview (2)

To configure each provider gateway, click the three dots (1) and then Details (2)

You would then see each category that you would configure, totaling to about 4 categories. 

Click on the toggle button under Status to enable the gateway for that particular currency. 

To find out more details about each currency, you can click the eye icon to reveal currency details.

Grouping

Grouping is where you can connect to your gateway of choice. Click Gateway (1) and then Grouping (2)

To add a new group, click + Add group

Lastly, fill the form with the relevant details by selecting the category and keying in the identifier

Once this has been successfully created, you will see it reflected in the dashboard.

To edit the entry after submitting it successfully, simply click the three dots. The drop-down will allow you to manage (edit the details), depreciate, or delete the group at any time. 

Routing

In this section, you will be able to set up and submit routes in your account for the gateways that you have connected in other sections. Routers are important for directing data packets between them, ensuring that data is routed along the most efficient path.

Here is how you can submit new routers: 

Click Gateway (1) and then Routing (2)

Then click Submission (1) and + Add Submission (2)

Then, fill up this form to submit your new router

Once you have submitted this form, a submission ID will be generated and the submission will be submitted for review. You will be able to track the submissions easily through the status updates. 

Once your routing has been submitted, it will remain as Draft until you finalise the details. To configure the details, you can simply click the eye icon.

Safe Routing: Safe routing refers to ensuring that data transmitted across a network is done securely and efficiently, minimizing risks such as unauthorized access, data breaches, or network failures. Safe routing often includes backup paths (redundancy). If one route fails, the data is rerouted through an alternate path, ensuring continuous connectivity and data transfer.

Block: Block refers to preventing specific types of network traffic, users, or data from accessing or traversing a network, keeping your data safe.

Once you have completed this configuration, you can click finalize to submit. 

Connect

Connect allows you to easily manage your subscription to our products. Click Gateway (1) and then Connect (2)

Then click Manage

This is where you can manage your subscription easily, as well as any fees and billing cycles.
