Payment encryption: tests the connection to the bound provider.
POST
/api/merchants/{id}/payment-encryption-bindings/{providerName}/test-connection
deprecated
Requires: Merchants.Merchants.Update, merchant scope.
The probe calls the provider's health command: it decrypts nothing, sends no key reference, and never touches a payment path. It carries back no vendor response body and no credential material. A candidate body is used for the probe and nothing else: it is never persisted, never logged, and never echoed in the response.
Signed in, you can send this request to your own sandbox merchant from the console and read the answer. Sign in to try it.
Example request
Every block below sends the same request. Replace {{BASE_URL}} with the address of the API you are calling and {{API_KEY}} with your own key.
The request body is a MerchantPaymentEncryptionBinding. See the Request body section below for its fields.
Parameters
| Name | In | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id
required |
path | string (uuid) | The merchant id. |
providerName
required |
path | string | The provider to probe. |
suppressNulls
required |
query | boolean | If true, omit properties with null values. |
Request body
application/json
, required
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
providerName
required |
string | Which payment encryption provider this entry binds the merchant to, by the provider's registered name. Compared case-insensitively. A null or blank provider is treated as no binding at all, so an incompletely boarded row cannot silently become a live selection. Required: When IsEnabled is true. nullablemax length 64 |
isEnabled
required |
boolean | Master enable flag for this provider on this merchant. When `false` or null, the selector must not return this binding even though the row exists. nullable |
credentialSource
required |
all of PaymentEncryptionCredentialSource | Whose provider account the decryption calls are billed to. Null reads as `Gateway`. nullable |
fieldValues
required |
array of PaymentEncryptionBindingFieldValue | The provider-declared configuration values for this merchant, keyed by the setting names the provider declares. <b>Secret values are stored encrypted</b> and are stripped, not decrypted, on every read that leaves the server. Only the server-side call to the provider ever uses the plaintext. Empty for a `Gateway` binding, whose values are filled in at read time from the host-scoped provider settings instead. A gateway-sourced row that carried values would be a copy of the gateway's credentials living on a merchant document. Conditional: When FieldValues is not null. nullable |
keyEntries
required |
array of PaymentEncryptionKeyEntry | The key serial identifier entries that map an inbound key serial number to an HSM key. Conditional: When KeyEntries is not null. nullable |
primaryEndpoint
required |
string | The primary provider endpoint for this merchant, or null to use the provider's own configured endpoint. HTTPS-only, enforced by the binding validator. Conditional: When PrimaryEndpoint is not empty. nullablemax length 512 |
secondaryEndpoint
required |
string | The secondary provider endpoint, used when the primary does not answer. HTTPS-only. Null when the merchant is bound to one region only. Conditional: When SecondaryEndpoint is not empty. Conditional: When SecondaryEndpoint is not empty and PrimaryEndpoint is empty. nullablemax length 512 |
decryptTimeoutMillisecondsOverride
required |
integer (int32) | A per-merchant override of the gateway-wide decryption budget, in milliseconds, or null to use the gateway setting. Conditional: When DecryptTimeoutMillisecondsOverride is not null. Range: 250 to 30000. nullable |

200 OK
Body: PaymentEncryptionBindingConnectionTestResultDto
Each item has these fields.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
succeeded
required |
boolean | Gets or sets whether the provider answered the probe. |
reason
required |
string | Gets or sets a short explanation of the outcome, safe to show an operator. nullable |
outcome
required |
string | Gets or sets the outcome as one word from a fixed vocabulary, so a caller can tell the cases apart without parsing `reason`: `Answered`, `DidNotAnswer`, `CredentialUnavailable` (the gateway could not load the credential the binding names, and the provider was never called), `NotProbeable`, `NotInstalled` or `NotEnabled`. nullable |
steps
required |
array of ConnectionTestStepDto | Gets or sets the steps the test ran, in order. The platform always sends a list, empty when the test ran nothing; the published schema still marks it nullable, as it does every array, so a generated client should guard as it would any other. `succeeded` and `reason` are not derived from this list and keep their meaning for a caller that reads only them. nullable |

default The request failed. The body carries the standard error envelope: a machine-readable `error.code`, a human-readable `error.message`, and `error.validationErrors` when the failure was a validation rejection. See the error-code reference in this document's description for the values `error.code` can take.

429 The request was refused because a rate limit was exceeded, or because something a later retry can clear stopped it. A rate limit refusal carries an `application/problem+json` body: wait at least the interval `Retry-After` names before retrying, then back off. Limits are tuned per deployment, so read the allowance from the response headers rather than assuming a fixed ceiling. Any other refusal carries the standard error envelope as `application/json`, and its `error.code` names the cause.
