To integrate with a Checkout configuration using the Checkout API, you will need a connection ID. A connection ID is automatically created for each new Checkout configuration. You can easily update a connection and link it to any configuration, allowing you to update your integration without making any code changes.

Connection ID overview

To see a list of your connections, go to nShift Portal > Checkout and choose Connections in the top menu. For each connection, you can see the connection ID and which configuration it is connected to. 
 

Note: Kustom customers need a Kustom secret to connect a Checkout configuration to Kustom Checkout. Read more here: Connection for Kustom Checkout.

Editing an existing connection

You can update an existing connection so it points to another configuration. This is useful if you have a running integration using the connection ID but want to change it to a different configuration. 

1. Go to Connections in the top menu.
    
2. Click the three-dots menu next to the connection you want to update and choose Edit.
    
3. Update any of the information in the connection, e.g. the Configuration, and click Save.

Creating a new connection

You can manually create a new connection if needed.

1. Log in to nShift Portal and go to Checkout.
    
2. Go to Connections in the top menu. You will now see a page with your current connections.
    
3. Click Create new connection.
    
4. Select a Member account from the drop-down list and name the connection.
    
5. Select a checkout Configuration from the drop-down list.
    
6. Click Save. A new connection ID has now been created.
