Configuring Bluefin PayConex Payment Gateway in VanillaSoft

Each Payment Gateway has its own settings and requirements and must be configured individually. You can configure the Payment Gateway per project to connect it to a specific project, or configure it for your entire VanillaSoft account to apply the settings to all current and new projects automatically. Once configured, Callers will have the ability to select the CC Payment tab and accept payments into your Bluefin PayConex account. If you configure a Payment Gateway at the account level and then add a configuration to a specific project, the project-level configuration will override the account-level configuration for that project.

This article focuses on configuring the Bluefin PayConex payment gateway. For a list of all other available payment gateways, visit the Payment Gateway section of the knowledge base.
