ConnectIn Configuration
Before you can start integrating and testing with ConnectIn, your connection must be configured on the ACI Payment Orchestration Platform.
The configuration process consists of three steps:
Request a Clearing Institute
Provide the connection and payment method information required to set up your ConnectIn connection.
1. Request a Clearing Institute
A Clearing Institute represents your connection on the ACI Payment Orchestration Platform and makes the configured payment capabilities available for use on the platform.
ACI manages the Clearing Institute configuration. To request a new Clearing Institute, contact your ACI representative and provide the following information:
- Primary test host
- Secondary test host, if applicable
- Payment brands and payment methods that you intend to support. See supported brands.
- Any connection-specific requirements that ACI needs to consider during the setup
2. Complete technical setup
ACI reviews the requested configuration and prepares the platform components required for your ConnectIn integration.
Additional technical setup may be required depending on the capabilities you plan to support. For example, a payment brand that is not already available for ConnectIn may require additional platform configuration before it can be used for testing.
Any additional setup requirements identified during this stage should be completed before integration testing begins.
3. Configure the test account
After the required platform configuration is available, ACI configures the test account needed for your ConnectIn integration.
The account configuration associates your ConnectIn connection with the appropriate test setup so that payment requests can be routed to your test environment.
Once the configuration is complete, you can proceed with the ConnectIn integration and begin testing payment requests against your endpoints.
